Q. My daughter did receive a 1098T from a community college with $161.25 in box 1 and nothing in other boxes.  On which return (parent or student) do I enter this particular 1098T?

A. Both

 

Q. The other 1098T info which is to be entered (differently) onto both returns should be associated with the university that did not provide a 1098T - correct?

A.  Don't enter that one at all,  since you'll have to dig up info like the school's EIN and only one 1098-T should be entered.    Use only the community college 1098-T, but don't enter the $161. 25.  Use only the amounts provided earlier ($4000 in box 1 on your return and 5117 in box 5 on hers).
