the Sec. 162 tests for deductibility. He wants to use the Lifetime Learning Credit.

Compute Sam’s income tax due or refund for 2012 by hand written form do not use computer excel. Record your work on the correct tax forms in
proper order and turn in the completed return at the beginning of the final exam. Needless to say, I will not accept any computerized tax returns. Attach this
sheet to your solution after you sign it.

I would be really appreciate if you could solve this problem.

Thank you, Ahmad Yassaviy
