I have 2 questions for any experts here:
1- American Opportunity Credit- is it based on you being an undergraduate student, or do you qualify during the first 4 years in college, even if a graduate student. The question arises for those who complete a Ba online or wherever in 2 years, and then begin a Masters Program. Can they still take the American Opportunity Credit during the first 2 years of their Masters program?
2- If a married couple filing jointly wants to get Earned Income Credit for their American kids, both parents need to have a social, not a Itin. Question is if only one parent has a social, is it ok to wait a few months or a year for the other parent to get full citizenship and a social and then be able to file for the EIC even for the prior year, even though in 2014 that parent did not have a social?
