Education

If you are claiming the college students as dependents, they are not able to use their education expenses on a dependent return. You will use the full amounts shown on Form 1098-T on your tax return.

 

As long as the students are considered full-time students in their first four years of college, under the age of 24 and a dependent, they will be eligible for the American Opportunity Credit. You can use the price of books and supplies as education expenses.
