Thank you for the token.  I have reviewed your return, and it looks like your income is too high to claim the credit, unfortunately.

 

In IRS Publication 970, there is a Lifetime learning credit Modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) Worksheet.  Here, the maximum income starting point is adjusted gross income on line 11 of the 1040, there are several non-applicable adjustments to arrive at MAGI.
