I filed my taxes claimed my 18 year old daughter but not her college expenses figured she claimed that. Can she claim her tuition if I claimed her she paid for all her college I paid for everything else for her. She also had a job all year so has to file.

A dependent student cannot claim any education expense or credits on their tax return.  Only the taxpayer claiming the student as a dependent can enter the education expenses on their tax return.

and.....if the scholarships exceed the tuition (Box 5 less Box 1 of the 1099-T), then THAT goes on the student return.
