I am 19 year old full-time student and part time worker. My parents pay my school tuition and expenses. I want to make sure they can still claim my school tuition

If you are a 19 year old full-time student your parents can claim you as a dependent on their tax return. If you file your own tax return you MUST say in My Info that you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return. Your parents are the ones who get to use the education credits on their tax return.

You can still file a return to seek a refund of tax withheld--that is fine--just make sure you answer the dependency question correctly.
