No. the person(s) who claim you as a dependent use your 1098-T to claim a tuition deduction or credit on their return.
There's a new urban myth among college
students that says they can get a $1000 from the government just for filing a
tax form. For most of them, they simply aren't eligible. A student, under age
24, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You
cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans
& grants. You must have actually paid tuition, not had it paid by
scholarships & grants. It is usually
best if the parent claims that credit.
