I claimed my daughter on my 2016 tax return, can she claim college tuition expenses?

She has work earnings for 2016 over $8,000?

A dependent cannot report any education expenses or an education credit on their tax return.  Only the person claiming the student as a dependent can enter the educations expenses and the education credit on their tax return.
