Sounds like you have some confusion. If your spouse is being claimed as a dependent, then he cannot file a joint return. His parents cannot claim him if he files a joint return with you. If the two of you file separate returns, his parents can claim him. However, if you file separate returns, YOU cannot get any education credits, so you forfeit the student loan interest.
