If i claim my daughter as a non dependent will it mess up her tax return?

[donnadiehl]

She had a part time job for a few months, lived with me the whole year and I supported her. She has already filed. Can I claim her as a non dependent?

[DanielV01]

How much did she earn, how old is she and was she in school?

If your daughter already filed her own tax return and claimed herself, you can list her on your own tax return without claiming her as your dependent.  In the Personal Info section of your program after you put in your daughter's name and other information, please make sure to check off the box next to the question that asks "Someone else can claim (daughter's name) on their tax return" AND the box next to the second question "Someone will claim (daughter's name) in 2016".  That way she will not be listed on your tax return as your dependent.
