Education

Yes, the Lifetime Learning Credit would be available to you for 2019 expenses.

 

Since you have taken the American Opportunity Credit (AOTC) for four years already, you will not be able to claim it again for 2019 (as noted by NCperson).  However, if you do have education expenses that you incurred during 2019, those can be claimed using the Lifetime Learning Credit instead of the American Opportunity Tax Credit.

 

The expenses are entered into TurboTax in the same section.  You will indicate that you have claimed the AOTC for the last four years and TurboTax will give you a recommendation for claiming the Lifetime Learning Credit instead.
