Answer:
In this case, the couple are married and their joint income is $134,960 less than limit of $180,000. Also they paid tution fees and room fees for their dependent child.
Calculation of claim an American Opportunity Credit
[(2000*100%) + (2000*25%)] = $2500
Since the couple paid $8760 for tuition fees, hence, they are eligible to claim for the full $2500 of American Opportunity Credit.
