Facts to keep in mind:
- The parents filled out their 2016 taxes already and did not claim their son who is a college student.
- Their son made around 10k in 2016 and would like to try to file his own taxes and see if he can claim the American opportunity credit as he does not want his parents to amend their taxes.
So the main concern is:
- Can he claim the American opportunity credit?
- Another concern that arises is: in this scenario, who will benefit the most as far money refund? The parents claiming their son and the American opportunity credit or their don claim it?
