If my college student son claims his 1098t form on his tax return, can I still claim his book expenses on my tax return if he will be considered my dependant?

If he is considered your dependent; he is not allowed to claim a tuition credit ("claim his 1098-T") on his return. If he is your dependent, you claim the tuition credit (claim the 1098t) on your return

Thank you.  However I read on some the posted info that if the scholarship amount is more than the tuition then the student should claim the 1098t on his return.  In addition, he worked and made over $400 as a self contractor (food delivery), so he has to file a return.  Should I still claim the 1098t?
