No. If you do not claim your daughter as a dependent on your tax return the expenses for college tuition, books and other qualifying education expenses will only be allowed to be claimed on the tax return she is on.
- If she files her own return and does not indicate that she is being claimed by someone else, only she would get the education credit.
- If her mother claims her as a dependent on her tax return only this person would be entitled to claim the education expense.
The only way you would be entitled to the education credit on your tax return would be if you claimed her as your dependent. For more information use the links below for assistance.
