Why am I not getting any education credits when I'm a full time student, over the age of 24, single, not claimed as a dependent, and make less than $90k?

I'm a graduate student, if that changes anything.

Grad students are not eligible for the refundable American Opportunity Credit (AOC)*. You must have a tax liability to get any of the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC).

*Unless you also got your BA/BS in 2024.

my son was unemployed all of 2024, although he didnt' reside in my household i paid for all his housing and expenses. Why can't i claim him as a dependent?
