You must enter the Form 1099-Q on your tax return since you are the recipient. It appears that the proceeds were used to pay for qualifying education expenses, in spite of the fact that the form 1098-T may not reflect that because of timing differences between years. If so, when you are asked to enter the amount of the proceeds used to pay for education expenses, you can enter the full distribution amount and you will owe no tax on it.
Your daughter would enter the Form 1098-T on her tax return since she is no longer your dependent. I think you mean there was $18,000 in box one and $10,000 on box 5 on the 1098-T form. If so, you daughter may be entitled to a lifetime learning education credit on up to $2,000 since her education expenses would be more than her scholarship income.
