My grandmother paid my college tuition for the year 2017. My parents plan to claim me as a dependent on their 2017 tax return. Can I claim an education credit in 2017 for the tuition paid by my grandmother when I file my own tax return? Would it be different if my parents did not claim me as their dependent on their tax return? ?
Homework Answers
Yes, you can claim an education credit in 2017 for the tuition paid by your grandmother.
If your parents are not claiming you as a dependent, then parent can't claim any of the education stuff. Only the daughter can.
If your parents *QUALIFY* to claim you as a dependent, it DOES NOT MATTER if they claim you or not, the student MUST select the option for "I can be claimed on someone else's return" when the student starts the student's tax return. It doesn't matter that your parents don't claim you on your tax return.
