Filing my taxes independently this year, but last year I was a dependent. Can my parents claim my 1098-T if they paid for my tuition when I was still a dependent?

April 2023 - My parents filed their taxes claiming me as their dependent because I was a college student and they were paying for my tuition. August 2023 - I graduated college, started working full time, and am completely independent from my parents.

April 2024 - I claimed myself on taxes but my parents want to claim my 1098-T because they paid for my tuition when I was still dependent on them. 

 

Can we both claim the 1098-T? Or does it belong to my parents?
