Q. I have used the American Opportunity fund 2 times previously but I answered once how do I change this?
A. It actually doesn't matter. You can leave it as it is.
If you have not filed yet, Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary". Click edit next to the student's name. That should take you to a screen “Here’s your Education Summary”. Click edit next to “Education Information”. Thar question will come up and you can change it.
If you have already filed, do nothing. TurboTax only uses that question to check the yes or no box on line 23 of form 8863, "Has the American opportunity credit been claimed for this student for any 4 prior tax years?". Since changing from 1 to 2, on your answer, does not change the IRS form, do nothing.
