If she is not your dependent on your return then no you cannot claim her tuition even if you paid it. She can claim the tuition for herself on her own return, if she has any tax liability to reduce.

No, since she isn't your dependent, you can't claim a credit for her tuition either.
Yes, she could claim the credit if she has taxes to reduce. The tuition payment would essentially be looked at as if it was a gift from you to her, and then she paid it.

as she is not ur dependent i think u cannot claim her tution fee because she is also a tax payee. any way if you want any more information go for the tax filing sites.
here are some of these sites. go for them. these are providing deductions on tax filing also.
try out . may be they are of use for u. good luck
