If my child paid for her tuition, I did not claim the American Opportunity tax credit on my return. However, I still claimed her as a dependent and I've learned that she can't claim the credit. Can I still claim the credit?
ANSWER
The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:
You can still claim the credit by amending your tax return via Form 1040X. Unfortunately, she cannot claim the credit as she is a dependent. Please note that in order for you to claim the credit, your child must qualify and they must have qualified education expenses.
