jrollo Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Question on form 8863 Parents are claiming the American Opportunity credit on form 8863. The student is their dependent child and under the age of 24. May they take the refundable part of the credit or should the box be x on line 15. Have read the instructions on pg. 5 and they are not very clear. Our the instructions on pg. 5 talking about the credit being claim on parent's return on the student's return. Thank you Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaB Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I think the instructions for line 15 are for when the student is claiming the credit, and the student would have qualified as a dependent on the parents return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
