I have a Felony Drug conviction from 2012, am i disqualified from the American opportunity tax credit?

[KrisD15]

Correct, that would disqualify you for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, however you might be eligible for the Lifetime Learning credit. 

According to the IRS:

"As of the end of 2021, the student had not been convicted of a federal or state felony for possessing or distributing a controlled substance."

IRS PUB 970

Yes, you could be a convicted murderer and still qualify but a felony drug conviction will disqualify you for life.  Thank your congress members.
