My dependant daughter has a 1098-T with out-of-pocket tuition payments totaling $18,000. This is about half of her college tuition for the year and I paid directly. The other half was via student loans that she took out and are deferred until she graduates. No scholarships.
My income exceeds thresholds and I am unable to claim the deduction. She has a part-time job and made $12,000 last year. Is she able to claim the tuition payments deduction on the 1098-T on her return even though I paid them?
