It sounds like you only had $58 of tax to offset. Look at the forms. The credit calculation is done on Form 8863. if you qualify for both the American Opportunity Credit (AOC) and Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC), you should be getting the AOC. The AOC comes in two pieces. There should be $1000 on line 29 of form 1040 (in addition to the $58 0n line 20).
