Collin and Christine Are Married and File Joint

question 7

Short Answer

Collin and Christine are married and file joint. Their dependent son, Trevor, is a full-time college student at a qualified educational institution. This year Collin and Christine borrowed $30,000 to pay for Trevor's tuition ($22,000) and room and board ($8,000). At year end Collin paid $3,200 in interest on the loan. What amounts can Collin and Christine deduct for interest and education expenses if they estimate that their AGI will be $133,000 absent any deductions for AGI (assume the 2013 rules apply for purposes of the qualified education expense deduction)?
