Can I claim the entire tuition amount recorded on a 1098-T if a family member paid part of it?

Although the general rule, in taxes, is that you must pay it to deduct it, there is an exception for educational expenses.

If the student is your dependent, you may count all qualified expenses paid, regardless of who paid them.
