About this listen

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • The AOTC is a per-student credit with a 40% refundable portion, while the LLC is a per-return credit and is entirely non-refundable. • Qualified education expenses must be reduced by tax-free assistance like scholarships and grants before any credit is calculated. • A student who can be claimed as a dependent cannot claim an education credit, even if the parent does not claim them. • AOTC qualified expenses include required course materials purchased from any vendor, whereas LLC expenses are more restricted. • Taxpayers with a Married Filing Separately status are ineligible to claim either the AOTC or the LLC.
