Question

Can I claim my higher education expenses as a dependent? I am claimed by a parent who paid my tuition but i spent $500 on required books and supplies. Does AOTC apply?

No. If you are claimed as a dependent you cannot claim education credit. Your parents can include those expenses paid by you when they claim that credit on their return.
