If your dependent daughter is claiming these qualified education expenses against her scholarship income, you will not be reporting the 1098-T.

 

Your dependent daughter has tentative scholarship income because box 5 exceeds box 1 or the 1098-T.  She may be able to report additional qualified education expenses to offset the scholarship income if those expenses exist.

 

Hopefully, your daughter will not fall under the filing requirement for a dependent and not have to pay taxes on the scholarship income.

 

For a dependent, a return must be filed if any of the following apply:

  • Unearned income was more than $1,100.
  • Earned income was more than $12,200
  • Gross income was more than the larger of
  •     $1,100, or
  •      Earned income plus $350.
