8863 vs 8917
tuition summary says, not qualified for American Opportunity credit, but still uses form 8863. What's wrong with program, and how do I fix it?

There are different requirements for the American Opportunity Tax Credit versus the Lifetime Learners or Tuition and Fees deduction.
Perhaps you took the AOTC 4 times already, or you are not an at least half-time student.
