https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/college-education/discussion/can-i-split-the-1098t-between-two-returns/01/380272#M10177 <P>I am a dependent that is required to file taxes (Single status with wages from job of $7,500) I am a full time enrolled undergraduate that has received a 1098T with qualified education expenses (Box 2) billed for $7,300. The amount I received for scholarships and grants (Box 5) totals $11,200. My understanding is that because I am dependent, I cannot claim education exemptions. Therefore my parents entered my 1098T information for education credit purposes on their tax return. &nbsp;Because I am also required to file taxes, I must include the grants received on my return as income. My question is can my parents claim the education expenses from the 1098t and I show the grant income from the same 1098t seperately on my return. &nbsp;In effect, split the 1098t between both returns? In addition, since the education credit is limited to $2500, can we only use qualifying tuition of $2500 on my parents return and the remainder from box 2 to offset the income on my return? Thank you for your advice and time<BR /></P> Tue, 04 Jun 2019 00:51:07 GMT Eddie1 2019-06-04T00:51:07Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/college-education/discussion/can-i-split-the-1098t-between-two-returns/01/380272#M10177 <P>I am a dependent that is required to file taxes (Single status with wages from job of $7,500) I am a full time enrolled undergraduate that has received a 1098T with qualified education expenses (Box 2) billed for $7,300.
