Question: Does it mean, that if she is dependent, room and board will be in my tax return, and if she is independent and claim everything by herself, it goes to her tax return? Or room and board goes to her return in all cases by default?
Simple answer: room and board scholarships goes to her return.
But, if room and board scholarship is already include in box 5 of the 1098-T (and it usually is), you do not need to separate it. Follow the example in my other reply.
