I was trying to save you a little work.  But, you are correct, it would be better if you entered the school where she was a full time student. The information goes on IRS form 8863. 

 

Since you didn't get a 1098-T from that school, you gonna have to work thru the interview. I don't think you can say you got a 1098-T, when you didn't because it checks a box on form 8863.

 You will need to enter the school info, including EIN. 

On your return answer that you didn't get a 1098-T. Then answer that you qualify for an exception. You will still be asked for the tuition paid. Enter $4000.  Do not enter any other numbers. 

 

On her return, answer that you didn't get a 1098-T. Then answer that you qualify for an exception. Leave tuition blank. She will eventually be asked about scholarships. Enter $5117.  Do not enter any other numbers. 

 

But yes,  check half time regardless of which school you enter.
