Appreciate your response Chris.
Based on the answer from your reply, the total education expenses is only helped out to determine the qualification for AOTC, not used for an actual calculation figure of itemize deduction. Was there a tax law change from tax year 2019 or it has been this way for decades?
If I remembered it right, it was used for actual deduction calculation until I didn't get any credit from any education expenses when filed my 2019 tax return. I had been able to use it to get deduction (like the due or refund reflected by the dollars amount education expenses input) with my older child for a couple years of tax returns prior 2019 tax year. Would anyone be able to verify please?
