I have paid a good portion of two of my college student dependents tuition in 2021 and want to know if I can deduct that expense. I have and entered their 1098-T's but do not see a method to just claim the portion I paid. I feel like using the full 1098-T amounts is wrong especially considering they will need to claim this on their returns. In both cases, tuition was paid partially by them, some scholarships and I paid the majority. Any advice or guidance here would be greatly appreciated - have not done this before. I also want to claim books I purchased for them if I can...
Thanks much, Steve-
