I worked/was a student last year. Didn't make enough for taxes but am filing because of the pandemic. If my parents claimed me, should I still click college expenses?

A dependent cannot claim educational credits, only the parent claiming the dependent can. However, if you received a 1098-T where scholarships exceeded tuition (box 5 more than box 1) then then that is taxable to the student and goes on your tax return.
