Deductions & credits

The program fills out the education form based on your 1098-T and the answers to your questions. It may be that your daughter had more scholarship income this year and things need to be tweaked. Please look at another of my answers for help  in getting your full credit.

You must have your daughter as a dependent.

 

The credit can be split up - up to $1,000 is refundable  whereas $1,500 is not. So it could be that the AOTC is split into 2 places on your return. You could have $1,500 on sched 3, part 1, line 3 and then have $1,000 on the 1040 line 29 from the form 8863.
