Yes, she should qualify for the AOC. 

 

But, I'm baffled by the fact that a 24 y.o. student, with more tuition than scholarships, in her 5th and final year of undergrad education has not had the AOC claimed by herself or the person who claimed her as a dependent, in the past.  It's a 40% refundable credit.

 

Was an opportunity missed? Does somebody (the student or, more likely, the parent) need to be filing amended returns for 2018 and 2019? It's too late, most likely,  to amend a 2017 return.
