Jennie’s grandmother paid her tuition this fall to State University (an eligible educational institution). Jennie is claimed as a dependent by her parents, but she also files her own tax return. Can Jennie claim an education credit for the tuition paid by her grandmother? What difference would it make, if any, if Jennie did not qualify as a dependent of her parents (or anyone else)?
