<p>My child worked during summer vacation and does work study , earned approx $3500 last year. Can she file her tax return even though she hasnt earned enough officially to and can she use the 1098 T deduction. She is supported for the 10 months or so at school by grants and loans , our contribution is approx $400 a month and $200 extra for food etc. Also if she files her own can she still be counted as a dependent on ours.
Sorry we have done our own for years and first year she has needed to do hers so we dont have a tax pro to ask</p>

<p>Yes she can do her taxes- whoever paid the educational expenses would be whom takes the deduction.</p>
