You can only claim a tax credit for tuition costs if you claim your child as a dependent. These tax breaks include the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Lifetime Learning Credit. If you do not claim your child as a dependent, you cannot claim the tax credit.
To claim a deduction as a dependent, your child or stepchild must be under age 19 as of the end of the tax year unless he is in school. If your child is a full-time student for a minimum of five months out of the year, he must be under age 24 at the tax year's end. Your child must live at your residence for over six months of the year to qualify for your deduction.
