i filed my daughter's return but when I filed my own return it got rejected for a duplicate SSN. I checked her return and the "someone can claim me as a dependent" box isn't checked. I am trying to amend her return and it won't bring up that screen

Do NOT click on anything that says "amend." You are not amending. You are just making a correction to an unfilled return so that you can e-file it. Go to MY INFO, click her name and go through the screens to the question that asks if she can be claimed as someone else's dependent. Change the answer to that question. Then try to e-file it again.
