Not sure why I am not eligible to take the tuition credit after I filled 1098 T

Hi There,

 

1098 T

Box1: 70,667.

Box5: 44,352.

My MAGI:$176,924

 

I think I should be eligible for this, but why?

Here is what I got:

"

You can't claim an education tax break
 
Based on what you've entered so far you are not eligible for an education credit.
 
Here is why you may not qualify:
 
 
 

 

Your income exceeds the maximum limit
 
 

 

Somebody else can claim you as a dependent on their return
 
 

 

Scholarships, grants, and other tax free assistance exceed the education expenses
 
 

 

There were no net qualified education expenses
