I had to amend my 2016 tax return to include 1098-T for my high school child's Dual Credit classes. She is not working toward a degree at this time. Does this count towards the 4 years that we can claim expenses for college? Or is this considered Lifetime

If she is not at least half-time college student, and she is not working towards a degree,

she would not be eligible for the American Opportunity Tax Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit.

It is possible that you could qualify for the Tuition and Fees Deduction.

There are also some States that offer education credits.
