Education

Thanks. 

 

She had 16,501 of total income but 9,799 of that was from the taxable scholarship.  We were looking at 2 scenarios to see which one was the best situation.  She supported herself a good bit so we could either claim her as a dependent or not.  One option is we claim her as a dependent and we claim the 1098-T on our return the other option is she claims herself and the 1098-T on her return.   

 

If we claim her as a dependent, don't we have to claim the AOTC on our return?  Or are you saying that we cannot claim her as a dependent if her income if over a certain amount?

 

Thanks.
