Not sure what your parents have in mind-----but the rule is that if you CAN be claimed as someone else's dependent, then you have to say on your own tax return that someone else can claim you as a dependent---it does not say they have to actually claim you---just that you CAN be claimed.  And....sorry....but if someone else can claim you as a dependent you are not eligible for education credit on tax return.
