The other 60% can only be used to offset an actual tax liability. So, the 40% refundable portion ($1000) will show on line 28 of form 1040.&nbsp; Because your tax liability is low, you get something less than $1500 for the non refundable portion of the AOTC.&nbsp; See line 19 of form 8863.</P> Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:10:28 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/college-education/discussion/re-aotc-not-getting-full-amount/01/3508048#M59295 Hal_Al 2025-02-23T03:10:28Z
