I am concerned that on line 23 of Form 8863 it says: Has the American Opportunity Credit been claimed in the past 4 years. The forms says No. But we have taken the Credit before in 2013. It does verify that information on the Student Info Worksheet. It says How many times has the student taken the Credit before on line 8 of the worksheet... it does say 1. Why is there a conflict in this information on Turbo Tax? And should I be concerned?

You shouldn't be concerned.
If the only time you claimed the American Opportunity Credit was in 2013, then the information is being transmitted correctly when it says it was claimed once before. When the program reports No, it is only looking at the previous year.
The only part that is being reported to the federal government is form 8863. Check line 23 of that form. If the No box is checked, you're good!
