Q. If the scholarship received from the work is a little amount and combined with college's scholarship still below the total tuition cost, may I claim AOTC, since she is my dependent?
A. Yes. In simple terms, the difference between total expenses (tuition, fees and course materials) and the amount of scholarship is the amount you can use to claim the AOTC.
Q. If yes, how the scholarship from her work to be reported on tax return?
A. After entering the 1098-T, in TurboTax, you will be asked if there was any additional schoarship, not shown on the 1098-T. Answer yes and enter the amount. That assumes the work schoarship was not included on her W-2 or her 1098-T.
