We have a 24 yr old daughter who we claim as a dependent. Can we also claim the education credit for her? She has no income and is still is an undergrad in college.

We are filing as married joint and have a 19 yr old that we are claiming the education credit for as well. Both are undergrads and have 1098t forms.

Yes, you can.

Whoever claims your dependency exemption is the one eligible for any education tax breaks.  

Since you claim your daughter, you report the 1098-T.
