21-yr old student received 70K IRA inheritance from Gma

Can she claim herself if she took entire IRA in 2024 rather than be parents' dependent? She was self-supporting, but not on earned income. Can she claim the American College credit for tuition paid?

It's advantageous for the daughter to claim herself in 2024 since she is using the 70K IRA inheritance to cover her tuition and living expenses. I assume that's permissible? The American education credit may not be permissible.
