@info28 @wildbeest55 Thank you SO MUCH for posting "There is a bug in the logic" and "Turbo tax needs to change their system for the american opportunity credit.", highlighting that it is a software issue, not a tax issue.
I've been going round and round on this trying to figure out which of the "four" options shown by Turbo Tax for why I don't qualify is causing the problem, since I clearly qualified for all of those situations. So, taking your "5th option for disqualification" discovery, that a full-time student does NOT qualify but a half-time student does, I went back to my profile and changing from "full-time" to "at least half-time" and that made the difference.
The most shocking part of this flaw is that IN THREE YEARS IT STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED. It's August 2022 (compared to your 2019 post), filing for tax year 2021. This flaw in not getting the credit for which I strongly felt I was eligible is the SOLE reason I filed an extension. I wonder how many people just filed without getting the credit - as I was so close to doing to just be done with it! But thankfully decided to put more time into it.
