Thanks for the quick reply. Let me clarify. In my example of Tuition 16K, scholarship $6k, the 1099Q box 1 has $10K, as my daughter got the distribution of just $10K which is what we actually paid to the college, as the scholarship was applied to Tuition. This 1099Q was in her name.
So, not sure how to claim AOTC with her filing as single, but checking the box that someone can claim as dependents, as her income is not just enough to cover all of her expenses - like housing, food, tuition, fees, insurance, etc. I also checked the box that parents are not claiming her as dependent.
