I'm sorry, I'm still a bit confused. It shows on my screen that if I say that "yes, my earned income was at least 1/2 of my support" I'll basically get an extra $1000 from the American Opportunity Credit. And I haven't done the exact calculations yet, but the income from my job and the amount I was refunded from loans/etc. to live off of, were basically equal. I just want to know if I should check "yes my earned income was at least 1/2 of my support" or if I have to check "no, my earned income was not at least 1/2 of my support." Obviously I'd rather check the first box but I also don't want to commit tax fraud if I'm wrong.
