After I enter my daughter's 1098T I'm assuming I need to fill out 8863 for it to deduct the scholarship data. We share custody and claim her every other year. How do I fill out the 8863

@Run4ever only the custodial parent can claim AOTC.

from your post not clear who is custodial and who is noncustodial.

The custodial parent can give the non-custodial parent permission to claim the child for the purposes of the child tax credit, the additional tax credit or the other dependent credit.

The IRS does not permit the custodial parent to pass the right to claim the child for EITC, AOTC or LLC, or the ability to file HOH to the non-custodial parent. The custodial parent can still claim the child for these purposes.

what is in Box 1 and Box 5 of form 1098-T. Are you non-custodial? did your daughter earn more than $15,650?
