Hi,

Parents AGI over $180k, no educational credits is allowed.

 Dependent (full time Student) earned income (W2 ) is only $800,  tried on parents return did not claim the depend, let the student claim himself.

Why the system let the student get the $1000 refundable ( of American Opportunity credit) plus his small Fed WH.

The student's earned income is less than half of his support. 

Is this correct? 

Thanks!
