The question re. education expense I paid for college tuition for a grandson can I claim that (I had contributed to a 529 account)

[MichaelL1 · Accepted solution]

You have to actually had paid it into a 529 Plan to get the State 529 Plan deduction.

Also, only the ones claiming the student as a dependent can claim the education credit on their return.

Kind act, but unfortunately does not get you a deduction.
