Can I claim education expenses for a dependant over 18 years old?

For the question "Did you have any higher education expenses..." can I claim all expenses etc for my dependant daughter that is over 18 (she has paid some of these expenses and we have paid some  - but she is not submitting a tax return this year)

Yes, you can claim her educational expenses since you are claiming her as a dependent. She would not be allowed to claim these expenses since she is dependent. Please view the TurboTax link below for more information.
