Education

Q. Do I qualify for the American Opportunity Credit (AOC)?

A. Yes. Or more specifically, you meet the has not completed 4 years of post secondary education rule since you "do not have four years of college credit". Generally, if you don't have  a bachelor's degree, you qualify under the that rule. 

 

But, if you have been going to school for the past five years, you (or your parents) may have already claimed the AOC the maximum 4 times.  The 4 times rules is in addition to the 4 years of credits rule.  You must meet both rules.
