Because your daughter is in high school, I am assuming that she is considered your dependent. If she is, then you may be entitled to several education credits and deductions that will reduce your tax liability and/or increase your refund. In other words, you can report the Form 1098-T on your tax return if your daughter is not required to file a return, or she states that she can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.

I have attached an Internal Revenue Service link Education Requirements that will assist you in determining if you can claim any of the education credits and deductions on behalf of your daughter.

If you can, do the following to enter the Form 1098-T information:

Select the Federal Taxes tab
Select the Deductions and Credits tab
Click the "I'll chose what I work on" button
Scroll to the Education heading
Click Start next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
Begin navigating through the prompts.

I just had the same thing happen this year. My daughter is a high school senior (she is still a dependent on our tax return but also files her own return) enrolled in College Credit Plus classes. We received a 1098-T form for her tuition but we never paid anything for her to take these classes. It's my understanding that they were paid for by either the state of Ohio or the college which held the classes through the high school. Should I claim this form on my taxes? On hers? Or not at all since no money for her tuition ever came out of our pockets?
