Check to see what you said in My Info for her.  Click edit by her name and go back through the questions again.  Make sure you entered her date of birth correctly and that you said she lived with you the whole year.  Make sure you entered her Social Security number.  Make sure you answered that odd question about whether she paid for over half her own support NO.  Another thing to try is to just delete her and then re-enter her information from scratch.  She should show up on line 6c as your dependent.

Tell us more about your daughter.  We cannot see your return.  How old was she at the end of 2017?  Was she a full-time student?  Did she live with you?  Did she have over $4050 of income?
