I had included my adult son as a dependent in my return and he filed his own return, which was double dipping, so I amended my return to remove him as the dependent.
He is in college and had an income of $13000 and capital gains of $500 and 0 income tax. The 1098-T were in his name and was for a total of 42750. He did not have any 1098-Q.
When I include all of this data in his return, I expected an AOTC credit of $1000 but Turbotax says this:
Not eligible for credit:
1. Somebody can claim you a dependent
2. There is no taxable income
3. There were no net qualified education expenses
I made sure his return said no one can claim him as a dependent. For AOTC, there need not be any taxable income plus his education expenses were all for a bachelor's degree, enrolled full time with no drug convictions. I created a brand new return and still have the same results, deleted the student, education section and recreated multiple times with same results.
What am I missing? Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
