TurboTax is saying that my daughter already claimed four years of the american opportunity credit, but that is not true.  2018 would have been her fourth year.  How do I override that?

Please revisit the student information you have entered for your daughter.

After entering her 1098-T, on the Education Summary page, click on Edit next to Education Information (see attached screenshot 1)

Follow the interview and carefully answer each question. When you arrive at the page titled Did [name] ever receive the AOTC or the Hope credit?, you should enter 3 in the box for the AOTC (see screenshot 2).
