I live in ct and she lives in az my daughters are with me now

How long have they been with you?

Legally since 9/9/09

Would she allow you to file using them as a deduction? If she was the custodial ( primary ) parent then to redo your taxes you may need her permission for the deduction. They have new rules this year and if they were only with you for 3 months the previous year then you may not qualify for even that.
