George Alexander pays $9,300 in tuition and fees in December 2019, and his child began college in January 2020. He filed his 2019 tax return on February 14, 2020 and claimed a Lifetime Learning Credit of $1,860. He claimed no other tax credits. After he filed his return, his child withdrew from two courses and George received a refund of $2,900. He must refigure his 2019 Lifetime Learning Credit using $6,400 of qualified education expenses instead of $9,300. After George refigures the credit, he determines his tax liability increased by what amount

After George refigures the credit, he determines his tax liability increased by

$580.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Tuition and fees paid by George Alexander in December 2019 = $9,300

Claimed Lifetime Learning Credit = $1,860

Credit = 20% of Tuition and fee ($1,860/$9,300 * 100)

Refund received from two courses that child withdrew from = $2,900

Refiguring his 2019 Lifetime Learning Credit using $6,400 ($9,300 - $2,900) instead of $9,300, the tax liability will increase by:

= $2,900 * 20% or ($1,860 - ($1,860/$9,300 * $6,400)) = $580

you get one warning and if you do something to violate the guidelines of after that you get kicked off.

mark as

i'ts proportional. if the inflation rate is 12% for example, the cpi will be 12% less.

hope it ,
