My children do not qualify as dependents but I pay for their tuition so do I get to add 1098T to my taxes or should it be added to their own?

[MinhT · Accepted solution]

If your children are not your dependents, you cannot claim their education expenses (on form 1098-T).

The IRS says:

Who can claim a dependent's education expenses.   If a student is claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return, all qualified education expenses of the student are treated as having been paid by that person. Therefore, only that person can claim an education credit for the student. If a student is not claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return, only the student can claim a credit.
