If student who filed the returns as nondependent and applied for AOTC in 2024, can he file as dependent in 2025, and can parent apply for AOTC on his behalf?

    Best answer by LaShaunA3

    Yes, if the student qualifies as a dependent in 2025, the parent can claim them and take the American Opportunity Credit (AOTC) as long as the qualifications to claim the AOTC are met.
