Logan, Caden, and Olivia are three unrelated parties who claim the standard deduction. All are married and attend Citron University, and each pays tuition of $6,100. Of this payment, Logan can claim a deduction of $4,000; Caden a deduction of $2,000; and Olivia no deduction at all. Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


The most apparent explanation is the limitation imposed on the § 222 tuition deduction. Logan’s MAGI must be less than $130,000; Caden’s MAGI is more than $130,000 but not more than $160,000. Lastly, Olivia’s MAGI must be in excess of $160,000.
