TP has EIC but cannot get Education credit

[AZ-Tax]

Hmmm.... HOH with $14K AGI. 1098T has $17K box 1, $2675 box 5 & box 8 is checked. Cannot seem to get TP - American Opp credit.

Education Credit

Seems like they should... I actually tested your figures in my software, and I'm getting the maximum amount of AOC that is refundable, which is $1000.00.

They don't get the basic education credit, because the tax liability is zero.

I am seeing them maxed out on EIC, and also getting the MWPC, and even the Additional Child Tax Credit. But I had to make some assumptions...

How many kids? And are the children young enough for the Child Tax Credit?

I tried with one and two children. They're still getting $1000 AOC.

Did you forget to check a box?

Like indicating that the taxpayer is a degree candidate?

Or that she has not been convicted of a drug offense?

Have you run your alerts or diagnostics?

Who is the student? The taxpayer or a dependent child?

Are you using ATX? Have to check box on dependents' screen "eligible for education credits" then enter amt on 1040 educational worksheet. Then ck which credit to use.
