 When I completed my taxes it gave me the American Opportunities Credit for her.  I completed the amounts for the 1098 Q and 1098 T and thought Turbo Tax would help to figure this out.  I didn't realize what I didn't need to report.  There was a memo that said that she would have to report $1372 of reportable income which I didn't know what to do with.  I have submitted my federal return.  Can I fix it and send an amended return?
