<prompt> Human: I am currently a fulltime student that made about 45,000 in 2016. That is plenty to support me, but my parents still pay for my tuition, which accounts for over 50 of my annual expenses. Does tuition count towards the at least 50 of my support?I want to make sure whichever way I file, both me and my parents get back as much as possible.  <response>: You cannot let them. Either they can claim you or they cannot. If they can claim you, you cannot claim yourself even if they dont. Either way, your permission is irrelevant.
