Get your taxes done using TurboTax

How much income did you have?

How are you paying for college; parents, scholarships, loans (in you name only or did parents co-sign). It's unlikely that you are self supporting. It's more likely that your parent need to file an amended return to claim you.  Is your parent's income too high to claim the ed credit (>$90K, $180K married)?

 

It is possible for you to get a non-refundable ed credit, if your income is high enough to have a tax liability.
