The Lifetime Learning Credit is not refundable.  It can only reduce your tax owed, so if you did not owe $2000, your credit is less.

It is 20% of what you paid up to a payment of $10000 (as 20% is $2000). I paid $5225 for tuition and expenses, so shouldn't I be receiving 20% of that?

Do you have a tax liability?   The credit is applied only to your tax liability.  You do not receive the LLC as a refund.
