I paid $8720 for my sons tuition.  He lives at home while he is going to school.  He is 25 and works part time.

Can I deduct the tuition and collage expenses?

If his gross income is $4,200 or more in 2019 then no one can claim him as a dependent.  If you cannot claim the student as a dependent then you cannot claim any education expenses for the student on your tax return.
