My son started his freshman year in 2022 for bachelors degree. He is filing his tax return for 2022. His income in 2022 was below $10,000.00. So, he does not have a taxable income. His 1098-T box 1 has $7400 and box 5 has $4000. He also had more than $300 expense for books. He was and is a full time student in the university. Although we can claim him as dependent in our return, we are not claiming him as dependent in our return. He does not have any felony record. So, my understanding was that he would receive close to $1000 of AOTC. But, after all the questions and answers, Turbotax is saying that he is not eligible for education tax credit. Any idea why Turbotax is coming up with this? Should I enter something somewhere in the questions/answer section to determine it correctly?
