Yes, your daughter can include the amounts you paid for her tuition and books when claiming an education credit. Just keep in mind that if she chooses the American Opportunity Credit (AOC) she won't be able to claim any part of it as a refundable credit, so she may opt to claim the Lifetime Learning Credit instead. That way you can use the AOC, including the refundable portion, when she is back on your tax return. The AOC is good for four years if she meets the requirements.
