If you can claim your daughter as a dependent, you can claim an education credit or tuition and fees deduction.
See the following explanation from IRS
Publication 970:
Who Can Claim a Dependent's
Expenses?
Generally, in order to claim the tuition and fees
deduction for qualified education expenses for a dependent, you must:
- Have paid the expenses, and
- Claim an exemption for the student as a dependent.
For you to be able to deduct qualified education
expenses for your dependent, you must claim an exemption for that individual
Expenses paid by dependent.
If your dependent pays qualified
education expenses, no one can take a tuition and fees deduction for those
expenses. Neither you nor your dependent can deduct the expenses. For purposes
of the tuition and fees deduction, you aren't treated as paying any expenses
actually paid by a dependent for whom you or anyone other than the dependent
can claim an exemption. This rule applies even if you don't claim an exemption
for your dependent on your tax return.
