Question

Hi, I did not claim my Daughter as a dependent but I did pay for some of her tuition for college out of pocket. Can I claim this on my taxes?

No.  The tuition credit or deduction goes with the student's dependency.  Only the person that claims her (whether that be another relative or herself) can claim the education expenses.  The good news is that whoever that is is allowed to also include what you paid  in calculating the credit for himself  or herself
