just make sure your parents/guardians aren't claiming you - then you get nothing and if you try to claim it, the government won't like you too much and start investigating

He already said it. If his parents are claiming him as a dependent, he doesn't get ****.

I don't think they can claim you once you're a certain age, right? Is it 20 or 21?

Right. But if he's on his own, and going to school you get deductions for your tuition. My fiance got a big chunk back this year because she gets to claim money spent on tuition to obtain her Masters in Education, which is required for her job.

In fact I don't even think it has to be college related, but if you take any course or attend any kind of workshop pertaining to your profession that you have to pay a fee for out of pocket, you get to claim it.

It has to be older than that. My parents still claim me and I am 20 in school. I don't even live with them when I am out of school
