Thank you! but I found another answer for Q#2 from the irs website here is it(see below), I guess my friend can't deduct the college tuition she pays for her son since she is holding a H1B status and is married filing separately. Welcome for response if anybody find me wrong. ******************* Who Cannot Claim the Deduction You cannot claim the tuition and fees deduction if any of the following apply. * Your filing status is married filing separately. * Another person can claim an exemption for you as a dependent on his or her tax return. You cannot take the deduction even if the other person does not actually claim that exemption. * Your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is more than $80,000 ($160, 000 if filing a joint return). * You (or your spouse) were a nonresident alien for any part of 2009 and the nonresident alien did not elect to be treated as a resident alien for tax purposes. More information on nonresident aliens can be found in Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens. * You or anyone else claims an American opportunity, Hope, or lifetime learning credit in 2009 with respect to expenses of the student for whom the qualified education expenses were paid.
Do you notice the last one? She can choose to claim American opportunity, Hope, or lifetime learning credit instead of tuition and fees deduction. Depending on her tax bracket, the former option could be better.

I don't think she is qualify to claim the education credit since she is married filing separately and is a nonresident alien. Happy New Year!

but she is a married filing separately which disqualifies her for any credit she can claim. =)
