You may not qualify for a full standard deduction if your parents can claim you as a dependent on their return. In that case, your standard deduction is limited to the greater of $1,000 or your earned income for the year plus $350, but not more than the regular standard deduction amount.
In addition, for the deduction for education expenses, you must also claim an exemption for the child on your tax return. Contributions on behalf of a child to 529 plans, designed as education savings plans, are not deductible whether or not the child is your dependent.
