Can I deduct the tuition costs for a non-dependent? I no longer claim my son as a dependent. But I pay his college tuition. Can I claim the tuition in deductions?

Payments for qualified education expenses can only be claimed if you claim the student as a dependent.  Whoever does claim the student can include what you paid.
