If my father paid my tuition and my student loan, but im not his dependent, can I claim them on my tax return?
I do my own taxes every year, although I’m not 100% familiar with tax law. In this case, my father no longer claims me as a dependent but he is paying one of my old student loans and he paid my tuition for the new college I’m attending. Because both 1098 forms (1098-INT and 1098-T) are in my name, do I have the right to claim them on my tax return or will that money float in the air?
it will float you cant claim what you didnt pay
