Question

Daughter not qualified for the American Opportunity tax credit??

I have 2 children in college. My son qualified for the American Opportunity tax credit but my daughter did not. It says the reason that she didn't qualify is because "Net qualified education expenses is zero." What does that mean? I entered in all of the information from her 1098-T.

it also shows that she doesn't qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit or the Tuition and Fees Deduction.

It usually means that box 5 of the 1098-T has a larger number than box 1. Otherwise, you've entered something wrong. In particular, be sure you didn't re-enter the box 5 amount at other scholarships.

Actually, it turned out to be a dollar value issue. After I played around with it for a while, I figured that out.
