It depends.
If the student listed on the 1098-T is your dependent, enter the 1098-T on your (parents) return, even if your dependent paid the tuition.
If you ae not claiming your daughter as a dependent, then enter the 1098-T on her return regardless of who paid the tuition, (unless it was her employer. In that case, she can just keep the 1098-T with her tax records.).
Enter 1098-T online:
- Open your return (if not already open)
- Enter "1098t" in the Search box.
- Click on "jump 1098t" link.
- Enter your information.
Or...
- Open or continue your return.
- Select Federal and then Deductions & Credits.
- Select I'll choose what I work on.
- Under Education, select Start or Update next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T).
- Follow the screens to enter your info.
Enter your 1098-T exactly as is, even if the amounts are wrong (this is common). You'll get a chance to correct this info and enter additional expenses later on.
Leave blank boxes blank. Don't enter 0 for any blank boxes.
