Hi Chalki,

 

As long as your Modified Adjusted Gross Income is under $160000, while filing as Married Filing Joint, or $80000 for Married Filing Separate, you can claim a full education credit for both and partial to the extent of phase-out at $180000 or $90000.

 

It will not help you file as Married Filing Separate.
