In 2001, 2003, 2004, and 2005 I had claimed the Education Credit on my 1040 found on line 49/50. Back then there was no such thing as the American Opportunity Credit. I'm attending a 4 year university, last year in 2016 I paid over $20k for my first year in tuition.
Do I qualify for the American Opportunity Credit this year? Or because I claimed the Education Credit back before the American Opportunity Credit came out then I am not eligible for this credit?
