Question

Under the 1098-T inputs, it has the student expenses under me rather than my daughter. How to correct this?

Make sure you daughter is claimed as a dependent on your return and you answered the questions that she lived with you the whole year (even if she was away for school) and that she didn't pay for more than half of her support.

Then when you enter the 1098-T, you can select your daughter's name on the screen Let's get your 1098-T Information.

Delete the 1098-T that you entered previously.

There's a weakness in TT. Once you select the student, it will not give you that screen  again to change it. You'll have to delete the current student (you) and start over.

 

At the screen where you select the student, you (the taxpayer) are the default. Be sure to check your daughter's name.
