The school is ineligible for 1098-T because it is not eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education (they don't want strings attached).
So, If I use TT, and state that she is a dependent, and we pay most of her expenses, but she's not at an eligible institution, would it be better for her instead to file as independent, and we drop her off as a dependent on our taxes?
Trying to figure out the best financial situation here. She earned in excess of 12k in '17.
Thank you.
