Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You would not qualify for the American Opportunity Credit because you were not at least a half time student for at least 1 day of 5 different months. You might qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit. Go to the education section of TurboTax and complete the step by step interview.
CORRECTION: See the comment below for the correct answer. The question is whether you paid for the courses taken in 2018 in 2018 or 2017. If you paid in 2017 they must be claimed on a 2017 tax return. The other issue is how old you were since there are some restrictions on someone under the age of 24 who claims themselves. If you use the step by step interview in TurboTax, it will let you know whether you qualify or not.
