Can I deduct tuition paid for a daughter who is not a dependent and lives in another state. I do not have a 1098 form

[Howard1948 · Accepted solution]

You can only claim the education credits for yourself or someone you claim as a dependent on your return.

However, if someone else claims your daughter as a dependent, that person can claim the qualified educational expenses you paid for their return.  Or, if no one claims her as a dependent, she may be able to claim your qualified payments for the credit on her return.
