Question

Nick and Katelyn paid $1,600 and $2,100 in qualifying expenses for their two daughters, Nicole and Naomi, respectively, to attend the University of Nevada. Nicole is a sophomore and Naomi is a freshman. Nick and Katelyn's AGI is $202,000. What is their allowable American opportunity tax credit?

Answer 1

Answer: $0

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Nick and Katelyn paid $1,600 and $2,100 in qualifying expenses for their two daughters, Nicole and Naomi, respectively, to attend the University of Nevada and that Nicole is a sophomore and Naomi is a freshman.

We are further told that Nick and Katelyn's AGI is $202,000. Based on the above scenario, their allowable American opportunity tax credit will be $0. This is because when AGI is more than $180,000 for such taxpayers, the credit is being phased out.
