If you are eligible to claim your daughter as your dependent, she should not claim her own exemption, but she can otherwise file her own return.

See Rules For Claiming Dependents

If you are eligible to claim her per the above rules, if she files her own return with TurboTax, she should check the box Someone else can claim me on their tax return in the personal information section.
