Can I still get the education tax credit when I'm filing, if my parent can claim me?

[ModestaL · Accepted solution]

No, you do not need to add your Education Credits (1098-T Form) Tuition Statement on your return. If your parent is claiming you as a dependent on his/her tax return that's who would take the Education Credit. You could still file your own tax return and receive a refund of the taxes withheld or balance owed. However, you must indicate on your tax return that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.
