If my child is my dependent am I supposed to claim her 1098-T on my taxes?

Yes, that is correct. You must file your dependent's 1098-T on your return.

Yes. If she is your dependent, you are the one who claims the tuition credit, unless your income is too high (>$90K, $180K Married filing jointly). You do so by entering the 1098-T on your return.

In TurboTax (TT), enter at:

Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version)

Deductions & Credits

-Scroll down to:

--Education

--Education Expenses and Scholarships

How does one compare keeping a dependent on one's own return versus not having them as a dependent when that dependent has earnings?
