My daughter is 20 years old and a junior in college. She will likely exceed the income threshold for filing because of her combination of employment income and COVID relief unemployment income she earned at various times throughout the year. If she files as a non-dependent and I do not claim her, but we pay her tuition, whose taxes can the 1098-T be filed on and, if it can go on either, does it make a difference in the grand scheme which return it goes on? For reference her total income will likely be around $15-20K while ours will likely be over $120K, if that makes a difference.
