Higher education credit
Can we get qualified higher education credits on our return if the person going to college can be claimed as a dependent on our return and filed his own return?

If you claim an exemption
on your tax return for an eligible student who is your
dependent, treat any expenses paid (or deemed paid) by
your dependent as if you had paid them.
If you don't claim your dependent's exemption for a dependent who is an eligible student (even if you're entitled to claim the exemption): only the dependent can claim the credit on their own return.
