If my minor dependant is requried to file her own taxes using only a 1098t do i need to report the 1098t on my taxes aswell? does she just file as single?

You use the 1098-T for Lifetime Learning Credit if otherwise qualified. She doesn’t have a do anything with it since she has no filing requirement. 

If she is a dependent and does not have a filing requirement, you can report the 1098-T on your tax return and claim either an education credit or the Tuition & Fees deduction on your personal return.

 

Please see the link below for the types of credits available as well as the Tuition & Fees deduction.
