Might depend on her age.  IF she turned 17 during 2019, you lose a lot of the Child Tax Credit for her  (1500 less)

We cannot see your screen or your tax return.  You lose the child tax credit when a child turns 17.  And the child-related credits are affected in a big way by the amount of income you earned by working.  If you earned a lot more--or a lot less--then your earned income credit would also be different.

 

Look at your 2019 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received
