<p>" Up to $1000 of the AOC is refundable, so even if the parents don’t owe any tax or have to file, you can get money back, if you have the expenses to claim it." Would these have to be educational expenses? It seems like turbo tax is not allowing any of us the AOC, is it because we aren’t eligible or a flaw in the software? Thank you again for your knowledge I’m trying to figure out what works best for us all financially and in conjunction with other programs.</p>
