Yes, both parents can claim tuition transfers, but with a major catch: one child's tuition cannot be split between two parents. Each parent can claim a tuition fee from a different child. Unused tuition can only be transferred to one designated recipient by a student. They are unable to divide their $5,000 transfer limit between their parents from one child (Student).
Before transferring anything, the student must use their tuition to pay off all of their taxes. A parent may only receive the "leftover" sum, which is limited to $5,000 per student.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
