Do you know how to go back and click yes which would likely prompt me to receive the credit again this year?
The Hope Scholarship Tax Credit has not been around for a long time. Last year, you could have received the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which is an education credit worth up to $2,500. TurboTax asks if you've received the Hope or American Opportunity Credits in the past because you can only claim them for a maximum of four years.
To begin checking if you are eligible for this tax credit and you have qualified education expenses in 2021, you would begin by inputting your 1098-T into TurboTax:
Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary". Click edit next to the student's name. That should take you to a screen “Here’s your Education Summary”. Click edit next to “Education Information”. You should eventually reach the screen that asks about previous Hope and American Opportunity Credits.
The times your parents claimed the credit, in the past, count against the four time limit, for you.
