I am helping my granddaughter with her taxes for 2025. She studied aboard the first 6 months of 2025 and then return and studied in the US for the last half of 2025. Neither of her parents claim her as a dependent. She had W-2 earnings of $1290 but did not have any federal or local taxes withheld so there is no refund to claim on this. (She is a Nebraska resident). She had less than $40 of interest and dividends. She did receive a 2025 Substitute Form 1098-T that reflects $23,619.38 in Box 1 (payments for qualified tuition and related expenses) and $10,767.00 for Box 5 (for scholarships and grants). She was a full-time student. She also received Form 1095-B - Health Coverage. She did receive a small refund in 2024 for taxes that were withheld per her W-2's. Is there any need to file a return for 2025. Since she had nothing withheld, I assume there are not educational credits that would be available to her. Thanks so much for your help.
