Education

When you claim your child as a dependent the education credits are entered on YOUR own tax return.  You can use the 1098Ton your return.    And if you signed or co-signed the student loan you can enter the interest from the 1098E you paid in 2020 on your own return.   

 

If your daughter had a job she can file her own tax return in order to seek a refund of tax withheld from her pay. She must say on her own return that she can be claimed as someone else's dependent.
