It doesn't look like I got the education credit and I was in college 2024. How do I know and how do I amend my return to get it if I hadn't?

It doesn't look like I got the education credit and I was in college 2024. How do I know and how do I amend my return to get it if I hadn't?

 Form 8863 is used to figure and claim the education credits.

 Refundable American opportunity credit goes on Form 1040 line 29.

Nonrefundable education credits goes on Schedule 3 (Form 1040), line 3.

 

To preview your 1040 and schedule 3:

  1. From the left  menu in TurboTax Online, 
  2. Select Tax Tools 
  3. Select Tools 
  4. On the pop-up menu titled “Tools Center”, select View Tax Summary 
  5. On the left sidebar, select Preview my 1040 
  6. Scroll down to see schedule 3. 

Education credits

 

Check here to amend your return.
