Education

It depends.

 

If you are claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, they would be entitled to the education credit.

 

If you have already claimed the education credit for four years, you can no longer claim the American Opportunity Credit as it is limited to four years.

 

I recommend you go through you 1098-T information input screens again.  As you go through the screens, you will see a screen similar to the following screen. 

Education credit

 

This screen outlines which credits or deductions you may or not qualify for.  An explanation is provided as to why you may not qualify for any particular credit.
