Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If your daughter qualifies as your dependent, tuition and required course material expenses for her education at a qualified institution could be used to qualify for an education credit, even if she paid for it, or she borrowed the funds.
Housing and personal expenses are not allowable education expenses for purposes of an education credit. So, you will not get credit for them on your tax return.
In order for tuition and required course material to qualify, the college must be eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the U.S. Department of Education. You can use this link to research eligible institutions: Eligible Educational Institutions
If the school qualifies, you just need a statement indicating what the tuition and required course material cost was.
