The IRS uses a test to determine if you can claim your child as, what they call, a qualified child.  If that test fails, they have another test called the Qualified Relative test. I am including a LINK here for your convenience which will hopefully help you determine whether or not you can claim your daughter on your 2016 income tax return.
