Education

It depends on whether the U.S. institution gives you credit for education abroad.

 

@TaxGuyBill says “If the current college recognizes that you have a 4-year degree, the American Opportunity is not available.  If the college only recognizes the student as a pre-gradate (a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior), the American Opportunity may be claimed (if all other criteria are met).”
