If your parents are claiming you as a dependent, you cannot claim the AOTC.
Also, if you are under 24, and your parents are alive, you cannot claim the refundable portion of the AOTC, only the non-refundable portion if they would not claim you. This means you would have to have a tax liability in order to benefit from the AOTC.
