Here is a second one I am stuck on. This one is working correctly, but I didn't know how to go about doing a function for the output of line 9 so that put me into problem of not being able to figure out how to get line 10 to output the Lifetime Learning Credit.
I was supposed to do a function for line 9:
The function shall take two input arguments:
the line 7 amount and the line 8 amount.
o The function will test if line 7 is equal to or more than line 8, and then compute
the correct results for line 9.
o The function will return the floating point result.
o No other computations should be performed within this function.
Examples: Input arguments of line 7 = 15000 and line 8 = 10000 would return 1.0
Input arguments of line 7 = 12222 and line 8 = 20000 would return 0.6111
Line 10 is supposed to be:
Multiply line 4 by line 9 and enter result on line 10.
This is your Lifetime Learning Credit. Enter the line 10 results on Form 1040, line 49.
