We cannot see your return or your entries here, as this is a public forum. Are you referring to the American Opportunity Tax Credit? If so, here are the AOTC requirements:
The student must be the taxpayer, spouse, or a dependent claimed by the taxpayer. The student must meet all the following requirements to be eligible.
• The student has not already claimed the American Opportunity Credit in at least four prior tax years.
• The student had not completed the first four years of postsecondary undergraduate education before the tax year as determined by the educational institution.
• For at least one academic period beginning during the tax year, the student was enrolled at least half time in a program leading to a degree, certificate, or other recognized educational credential.
• The student had no federal or state felony conviction for possessing or distributing a controlled substance as of the end of the tax year.
You also must have out-of-pocket qualified education expenses.
