Question
If I am still in my first 4 years of college and under 24 years old, then why am I receiving the Lifetime Learning Credit and not the American Opportunity Credit?
I'm only 22, I haven't received 4 years of the American Opportunity Credit, I am in my first 4 years of college, I'm applying married filing jointly, and together we make far less than the max 180k. I'm not sure why I am being given the Lifetime Learning Credit instead of the American Opportunity Credit, and clarification regarding this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
