Because your daughter is in high school, I am assuming that she is considered your dependent. If she is, then you may be entitled to several education credits and deductions that will reduce your tax liability and/or increase your refund. In other words, you can report the Form 1098-T on your tax return if your daughter is not required to file a return, or she states that she can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.
I have attached an Internal Revenue Service link Education Requirements that will assist you in
determining if you can claim any of the education credits and deductions on behalf of your daughter.
If you can, do the following to enter the Form 1098-T information:
- Select the Federal Taxes tab
- Select the Deductions and Credits tab
- Click the "I'll chose what I work on" button
- Scroll to the Education heading
- Click Start next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
- Begin navigating through the prompts.
