My 18 yr old daughter filed her taxes and did not check the box that she can be claimed on someone elses taxes. ( She lived in my home 12 months of the year and I pay 100% of her support). My tax return has been rejected via efile due to her SSN, how fix

You will likely need to paper file your return and your daughter will need to amend her tax return. When you paper file your return, you can include a cover letter explaining that your daughter accidently did not mark that box and that she is now amending her return.
