Notes
:
1.
The Keller’s can claim the Lifetime Learning Credit for their son, Wyatt while he attends graduate school, however, the credit that they claim, which is 20%, up to $2,000, is no longer refundable. This means that it can only be used to benefit their overall tax liability down to zero.
2.
Robert and Nora James no longer have ability to claim AOTC as their AGI has surpassed the allotted $180,000 max for claiming the credit as Married Filing Jointly. AGI = $217,020
3.
The standard deduction of $25,900 is the base deduction that should be applied to both families with children attending school as there are not enough itemizations to exceed the Married Filing Jointly standard deduction amount. 4.
Both Tavaris and Juliana did not meet the itemized deduction requirements when bunching their charitable contributions together from the previous year. Therefore, I recommend they continue with taking their standard deduction, as it has also now increased for the current tax year to $12,950.
