Thank you.

Yes, she lives with us in MA when not on campus.

We claim her as a dependent - she cannot support 1/2 of her living expenses, which means she cannot claim the Tuition deduction.  In the past we got that deduction, but got a pay raise (yay!) which effectively just netted to nothing because TT is now saying we are not able to claim the Tuition expense deduction. :(

 

Seems we're stuck with her owing State taxes, and no one being able to claim the tuition deduction.

Is there anything I'm missing?
