Generally, if you paid for qualified education expenses for an academic period beginning in the current tax year or in the first three months of the next year, then you're allowed to take the Lifetime Learning Credit.
Qualified expenses are tuition and certain related expenses required for enrollment at an eligible institution. The course must be either part of a post-secondary degree program or taken by the student to acquire or improve job skills.
Student activity fees and expenses for course-related books, supplies, and equipment are included in qualified education expenses only if the fees and expenses are paid to the institution as a condition of enrollment or attendance.
Go through the Education section in TurboTax to enter your expenses. TurboTax will tell you what credit or credits you qualify for after entering all of your course and school info. Search for education and use the Jump to education link to go through all of the questions.
