1098-T

The program is telling me that I cannot deduct the box 1 od 1098-T, payments for tuition and expenses based on the income. Should my daughter prepare a separate tax return to claim this credit?

Thanks

1098-T

Are you claiming your daughter as a dependent?   Dependents cannot get education credits.   The parent--etc.-- that claims a dependent is the one who can enter the information to get education credits for college students.  And....if you CAN claim your daughter, the rule is that on her own tax return she must say that someone else can claim her.
