I graduated in 3 years (fall 2021 to spring 2024), in which I wanted to know if I am still eligible for the AOTC. I know I am good in terms that I have not claimed it 4 times yet, but part of the requirement is to be pursuing a degree or other recognized education credential, however I technically no longer am pursuing a degree since I graduated. Just to confirm, is the part about pursuing a degree in reference to that respective tax year, or do I still need to be considered a college student (even now) to qualify for the AOTC?
