Is there a way for me to add the form 8863 to my taxes before filing, or does Turbotax automatically handle that for the American Opportunity Tax credit?

When I completed the education for my tax breaks in Deductions & Credits it said I qualified for the American Opportunity Tax credit. I looked this up for further details and the results say a form 8863 is needed to be filed in order to claim the AOTC. Is there a way for me to add this form to my tax refund before I file, or does Turbotax handle this automatically?
