I only filed my return incorrectly because TurboTax failed to ask me whether I had taken the AOC. Looking at form 8863 page 2, I see that question 23, "Has the American opportunity credit been claimed for this student for any 4 prior tax years?", the answer is checked NO, whereas the actual correct answer is YES. TurboTax checked NO without my knowledge or consent. The interview process never asked me this question. I checked by re-doing the interview; it still never asks me.
Now that I know the problem, to file an amended return, how do I tell TurboTax NOT to use the AOC form, and to use the Lifetime Learning Credit instead? The step-by-step interview process doesn't let me choose; I tried it over and over. I can view form 8863, but I don't see how to edit the form to change question 23 from NO to YES.
