@Silfig29 , generally not. F-1 implies you are NRA ( unless you are not an exempt person and have passed SPT).
From the IRS :
Who cannot claim an education credit?
You cannot claim an education credit when:
- Someone else, such as your parents, list you as a dependent on their tax return
- Your filing status is married filing separately
- You already claimed or deducted another higher education benefit using the same student or same expenses (see Education Benefits: No Double Benefits Allowed for more information)
- You (or your spouse) were a non-resident alien for any part of the year and did not choose to be treated as a resident alien for tax purposes (find more information in Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens)
Is there more I can do for you?
