So you have form 8863 included in your previous years tax returns, but line 23 on them are marked no? Are there numbers on line 8 of form 8863? Is there an amount on line 19?
Also, look at line 29 of your 1040 from last year. Is there a number on line 29? If so, then you were given the credit. If not, look at form 8863 and double check your answers to see if they are all correct.
If you did receive the credit in past years, and you verify it on your paper return, then you would simply select yes you did receive it and then number of years you did so when asked.
