I can no longer claim my child as a dependent but still paid college tuition last year, can I claim tuition expenses paid for a non-dependent?

My daughter turned 24 last year and made more than $4050. Can I still claim tuition I paid for her even though I can't claim her as a dependent on my return?

Unfortunately no.  If the student is not a dependent on your tax return you cannot claim any education expenses for the student.
