Your mother can file a return on paper and claim your daughter.  At some point the IRS will contact your mother and determine who is actually entitled to the deduction.  The IRS agent who conducts the investigation may tell your mother who the other party is.  It may take a long time, even a year or longer, for that hearing to be held.
