Yes, you can still claim your daughter as a dependent if the Qualifying Child rules are met. Your daughter can file
her own tax return and receive a refund of the taxes withheld or balance owed.
However, she must indicate on her tax return that she can be claimed as a
dependent on someone else's return (under the personal information section).
To be a Qualifying Child -
1. The child must be
your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, half brother,
half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them.

(a) under age 19 at the end of the year, (b) under age 24 at the end of the
year and a full-time student or (c) any age and permanently and totally

have lived with you for more than half of the year. Temporary absences while
away at college are considered living with you.

not have provided more than half of his or her own support for the year.
5. If the child
meets the rules to be a qualifying child of more than one person, you must be
the person entitled to claim the child as a qualifying child.
