Who should claim the tuition expenses for a 17-year-old who is filing Single and being claimed as a dependent on the parents' tax return?
If your parents are claiming you as a dependent, then they're the only ones who can claim a deduction for tuition expenses. If they don't claim that deduction, then neither you nor anyone else can claim it because of your status as a dependent claimed on someone else's return.
There are two options for deducting tuition expenses, and the person claiming the deduction should choose the one that gives the lower tax. One, Form 8917 (Tuition and Fees Deduction) is attached to your tax return (1040 or 1040A). The deduction on line 6 of Form 8917 is then entered on line 19 of the Adjusted Gross Income Section of 1040/1040A. Two, Form 8863 (Education Credits Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits) is attached to your return. The deduction is then entered on line 31 of 1040A or line 49 of 1040.
