My parents paid my tuition, however, I am filing as an independent. I'm not sure if I should claim my educational expenses or not. Might be useful to note that I was also a full time student.

I wouldn't think I could claim it, however, I found a link to a TurboTax discussion that says otherwise: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2622235-if-i-file-as-an-independent-but-my-parents-pay-my-tuition-....

I can't seem to find the other link now, however, it appeared to have a conflicting answer. Would any other pieces of information help?
