You can put your daughters 1098T on your return, if she qualifies as your dependent. You can get an Education Tax Credit.

Also, make sure she indicates that she was claimed as dependent if she files a tax return to receive a tax refund.

You can report the 1098-T on your tax return as long as your daughter qualifies as your dependent. You may also qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit or the American Opportunity Tax Credit.

Please see the TurboTax articles Guide to Tax Form 1098-T: Tuition Statement and What Are Education Tax Credits? For additional information.

If your daughter files a tax return, make sure she checks the box indicating that someone else will claim her as a dependent.

As others have said, you can claim the tuition credit (put my daughter 1098T form on my tax return), if your daughter is your dependent.

There are two types of dependents, "Qualifying Children"(QC) and Other ("Qualifying Relative" in IRS parlance even though they don't have to actually be related). There is no income limit for a QC but there is an age limit, student status, a relationship test and residence test.

A child of a taxpayer can still be a “Qualifying Child” (QC) dependent, regardless of his/her income, if:

He is under age 19, or under 24 if a full time student for at least 5 months of the year, or is totally & permanently disabled
He did not provide more than 1/2 his own support. Scholarships are excluded from the support calculation
He lived with the parent (including temporary absences such as away at school) for more than half the year
