<p>If your daughter was part or full time at a college or university and is pursuing a degree and the expenses you paid were for tuition, fees, books supplies or equipment you probably are allowed to deduct the expenses or at least not have to consider the scholarship income that went toward tuition and qualified expenses as income. The college only reports amount that went through them. The foreign school is unlikely to issue you any documentation. Make sure you have a copy of the bill and a copy of the check. I can't give an absolute answer without all the detail, but you should be able to deduct the difference between total tuition and fees less scholarship amount even though your regular university did not act as a passthrough.</p>
