I have 2 kids in college who are still dependents and I pay all of their tuition. I am filing returns for them because they both made over $12,400. Whose return do I enter their 1098-T information on, theirs or mine? Thx.

If the children are being claimed as dependents on your tax return then the information from the Form 1098-T is only entered on your tax return.

That's what I thought - I really appreciate the confirmation. Thanks!

If Box 5 (scholarships/grants) is larger than Box 1, then something may need to be entered on the kids' return as well.

Or in some cases you would WANT to intentionally make some scholarships/grants taxable on the kids' returns to allow you to claim a larger educational credit.
