Lifetime Learning Credit and American Opportunity Credit years claimed

How do I return to the page that displays how many years you have claimed the Lifetime Learning Credit and American Opportunity Credit previously?  I reviewed my taxes and when I go through the education deductions it will not appear again.  I need to make a change.
