I am eligible for American Opportunity Credit (full-time student, no drug charges, never used it before, all that jazz). I am over 24 and cannot be listed as a dependent. Yet I did receive substantial part of tuition from my parents. I wonder if I can still use the credit when I cannot prove that I paid the tuition entirely out of my own pocket.
Yes, you can use your education expenses to claim the American Opportunity credit even if your parents paid your tuition.
Please note to be eligible for the refundable part of the AOC, you must be able to state that you cannot be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer. You would satisfy this condition if you earned more than $4,300 in 2021 or that your parents did NOT provide more than half of your support.
