To clarify, if you are a dependent, do you have any income to claim which would require you file a return? 

Did you receive a scholarship? 

 

As a dependent, you cannot claim an Education Credit but the person that claims you might be eligible for the credit. 

 

If your dad claims you, he could enter the 1098-T to apply for a credit if Box 1 is larger than Box 5 (more expenses than scholarships)
