Maximum = $2,000.
Reason: The Lifetime Learning Credit equals 20% of the first $10,000 of qualified tuition/expenses per return, so 20% × $10,000 = $2,000. (Although Miguel paid $12,500, only the first $10,000 is eligible.) Note the credit is nonrefundable and is reduced or disallowed if he has tax-free educational assistance or if his MAGI is above the IRS phase‑out range for 2024.
