This is a pretty real one guys

Income tax time of year, so that means it's my first year to do taxes. I recently learned that I can claim my interest on my student loans as a tax refund, so I'm doing that myself. I got a parent plus though, and since part of the loan is my mother's responsibility and I've been paying it anyway, is there any way I can claim that interest as a refund as well?

My mother also wants me to go back to college so that she can claim me as a dependent. I don't want that, however, because I know it'd probably make it so I got jack shit on my refund. Is there any way to prevent her from claiming me as a dependent?

21 years old.
