No, but could you claim her as a dependent? See the rules in the 1040> 07. She graduated in May of 07 and is out of the house on her own.

The time that she was in school is considered time she lived with you, though the total time she lived with you must be more than 6 months. -- << ------------------------------------------------------- > << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, > << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties > << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts > << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy > << are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. > << ------------------------------------------------------- > |

| claiming tuition on my daughter who is not a dependent anymore I paid the last semester of my daughter's college tuition in January 07. She graduated in May of 07 and is out of the house on her own. I'm assuming I can't claim her as a dependent and because of that my tax program (taxact) only asks if myself or my wife has tuition expenses to claim. Can I claim her tuition expense even though she will not be listed on my return as a dependent? Thanks. -- << ------------------------------------------------------- > << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, > << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties > << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts > << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy > << are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. > << ------------------------------------------------------- > |
