Question: John's W-2: Wages = 61,500 John take one class a semester ABC university towards an MBA degree. In 2017, he paid $1300 in tuition, $300

John's W-2:

Wages = 61,500

John take one class a semester ABC university towards an MBA degree. In 2017, he paid $1300 in tuition, $300 for books, and $200 for a meal card.

Can John deduct/"take" education credit? (Total $1800)

So far, I have that John is eligible for Lifetime learning credit. Because of John's MAGI is 61,500 credit is phased out:

LLC for Single: 67,000-61,500/10000=0.55*(1800)=990

Is this correct?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
