Yes - all versions of TurboTax Online support Form 8863, Education Credits.
To fill out Form 8863, complete the education section by answering the interview questions. While providing your answers, TurboTax will automatically be filling out Form 8863 and checking for deductions and credits you may qualify for.
Form 8863 is automatically completed based on the information that you enter in the Education section of your tax return. You will enter information for your school, tuition, other expenses, scholarships, etc. All of this will be used to complete Form 8863 and include as part of your tax return for the education credit that works best for your situation.
Use the following steps to get started:
I sent in my tax forms today can I still send a 8863 to the IRS through e-filing for my student refund?
If you already submitted your return without the 8863, you will need to amend your 2019 to submit the form and claim the credit .Please select this Turbo Tax link for instructions on how to amend your 2019 return.

There's a new urban myth among college students that says they can get a $1000 from the government just for filing a tax form. For most of them, they simply aren't eligible. A full time unmarried student, under age 24, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans & grants. You usually must have actually paid tuition, not had it paid by scholarships & grants. It is usually best if the parent claims that credit.
You cannot claim a credit if you are, or can be, claimed as a dependent by someone else.
