Can I claim American Opportunity

my parent claim American Opportunity in a prior year on their return

Maybe.

That credit can be claimed 4 times and you need to count the times anyone else took it (on you as the student).

So if your parents took it 2 times, you have 2 left. If they took it only once, you have 3 times you (or someone else that claims you) can take it.

You'll need to check with them and ask how many times (years) they used it.
