If your parent does not file a tax return since she is not a resident or citizen, then you don't need to file form 8615. The purpose of the form is so you will be taxed at your parent's tax rate which may be higher than yours. That is clearly not applicable here.

You may be eligible for Education Credits, so be sure to enter the 1098-T information from college.
If you did not receive both stimulus payments, you can apply for those also.
