I am confused on this question, I have a full time student who was living in another state for 7 months out of the year for college. I still support her 100%, but she also had a few jobs part time and I think she made more than 6300 dollars (Waiting on confirmation).
Would I put that she still lived with me for the full year? Count the months she was living here, when not at school?
Is she still considered a dependent? She is under 24 years old (20 to be exact).
For her 1098-T, who would enter it? Her or me? If she is required to file a tax return (Depending on how much she made).

Yes, she can be your dependent while away at college. If she is under 24 and a full time student and you supported her 100%, then she is your dependent.
Enter that she lived with you for the entire year (temporary absences while in school do not count). The 1098-T form is entered on your return because she is your dependent even if she is required to file a return. If she is required to file, she will indicate that someone else is claiming her as a dependent.
See the FAQ links below for claiming your child (exception for the living with you) and whether your daughter will need to file her own return.
