I took dual credit courses in high school, half-time my junior year and double full-time my senior year, and earned an associate degree before graduation. I then attended university and am on my fourth year at that university. Do those two years of dual credit count against my American Opportunity Tax Credit time? The requirement on the IRS page is "Not have finished the first four years of higher education at the beginning of the tax year." I have never claimed the American Opportunity credit nor has it been claimed for me.
TurboTax says that I qualify. My scholarships exceed my tuition costs on my 1098-T, so I thought I shouldn't anyway. Just trying to double check before I file this.
