Education

Yes, you will enter the 1098-T and all other education information IF YOU ARE CLAIMING THE STUDENT as your dependent. If you are not claiming her, she would enter them. 

 

If you are claiming  her, you enter the information into your TurboTax program, so that it can make the calculations. Once the calculations are made, the program will tell you if there is a credit available and/or if there is tax due. 

 

If there is a credit available, that credit will be claimed on your return. 

If there is tax due, for example on a scholarship used for room and board, that tax will be reported on the students return. Your TurboTax program will tell you if the student needs to report taxable income, and if so, how. 

 

The school should send the 1098-T. It may be mailed to you or your daughter's address, depending on what address the school has on file. 

It might also be available online by looking at her online school account. 

As a last resort, you can call the school and ask for a copy.
