I am no CPA or even a PA or "accountant" but I agree with you if you provided more than half of her support, guess she lives or lived with you most of the year ?

Get yourself another tax preparer. Even if your daughter exceeds the gross pay test, the student exception applies.

This is Income Tax 101 stuff. If the tax preparerdoes not know that, you do NOT want him doing your taxes. He is likely little more than a data entry person who relies on his tax software too much.
