Your mother in law cannot claim any credits based on the 1098-T information since she doesn't qualify to claim your daughter as her dependent.
The education credit always follows the taxpayer that claims the student as a dependent.
However, the amount of the distribution from the 529 that was applied toward the tuition should be considered when determining the credit in order to avoid "double-dipping" for tax benefit.
