My daughter is a full time student and i claim her on my taxes, she received a 1098-T from her college, which is in her name, can i claim this on my taxes?, she worked part time over the summer and is filing her own taxes but she cannot claim this form because i am claiming her.

Yes, you can claim the 1098-T on your tax return because she is your dependent.

Your daughter can't claim education credits on her return because she is your dependent

Please see What education tax credits are available? for additional information.

My daughter is over 20 of age and she full time student and I don't know which one is better for her is be dependent or independent, she has part time job. can I put her on independent for all her deduction.

If she meets the requirements to be your dependent then she is your dependent, even if you decide to not claim her, and she will have to indicate on her return that she can be claimed by some else.

Qualifying child requirements:

They're related to you.
They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
They're a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.
