The American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) allows eligible students and their families to claim a credit for qualified education expenses for the first four years of higher education. The AOTC can provide a maximum credit of up to $2,500 per eligible student for the tax year, with 40% of the credit being refundable.

This means that the nonrefundable portion of the AOTC is 60% of the maximum credit. Therefore, the nonrefundable portion of the AOTC would be:

- Maximum AOTC: $2,500
- Nonrefundable portion (60%): $2,500 * 0.60 = $1,500

So, the nonrefundable portion of the AOTC that the Davises qualify to claim, assuming they are eligible for the full credit, would be $1,500.

Keep in mind that eligibility for the AOTC is based on various factors including income limits, enrollment status, and qualifying expenses, so the actual amount they can claim might vary.
