Daughters college tuition

[Akallen03]

I filed my taxes claimed my 18 year old daughter but not her college expenses figured she claimed that. Can she claim her tuition if I claimed her she paid for all her college I paid for everything else for her. She also had a job all year so has to file.

A dependent student cannot claim any education expense or credits on their tax return.  Only the taxpayer claiming the student as a dependent can enter the education expenses on their tax return.

and.....if the scholarships exceed the tuition (Box 5 less Box 1 of the 1099-T), then THAT goes on the student return.

Since she is your dependent, you may claim the tuition credit, even though she was the one who actually paid the expenses.

You should file an amended return, to do so. The credit is worth up to $2500 added to your refund.
