While working through the step-by-step method in TurboTax Deluxe, our refund increased by $1,000 if she's listed as a dependent. She also qualifies for the American Opportunity Credit (based on how much we paid for her tuition?), which comes to $2,237. So, if she's our dependent our refund increases by $3,237.
If she is not our dependent, I didn't find any way to get a credit or deduction for her tuition, even after entering info for Form 1098-T.
