Education Expenses

I have a dependent college freshman.  She worked during the summer but only earned about $2000 so I wasn't going to prepare a tax return for her.  However, she received a 1099Q and a 1098T in her SSN.  Do I have to report these on a return under her name or can they be included in my return?  I also read through IRS Pub 970 and figured out the taxable earnings on the 1099Q, about $4500.  That amount combined with her work earnings still don't put her over the $12000 limit to file so do I just not file for her?
