My Filing Status has been "Married Filing Seperately" for the past few years. My spouse has been claiming my Daughter as a dependent the prior years as She lived with her. However in the year 2021, Daughter turned 18 and moved out and started going to college. I have paid the entirety of her college fees as well as a majority of her living expenses incurred when She was living at home with my spouse prior to going to college in Fall 2021.
I have 2 questions:
1. Can I claim my Daughter as a dependent ?
2. can I get a tax deduction for the college expenses (tuition and board) I paid for her in 2021 ?
Thank You!
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
