Education
Graduating college in 4 years usually means you were in college 5 calendar years. There is a 4 time limit on claiming the American Opportunity Credit (AOTC). If you, or your parents, already claimed it in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, you can not claim it in 2023.
Otherwise grad students are eligible for the AOTC, in the year they completed their undergrad degree. You may count both the grad & undergrad expenses for the AOTC. You may not claim both the AOTC (for the undergrad) and the LLC for the grad.
If you qualify, go back and check your interview answers, particularly the one about completing 4 years of post secondary education. If that fails, delete the education and start over.*
*Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary". Click delete next to the student's name. You'll then get the "Your Education Expenses Summary" screen again. Click the "Add a student" button. You'll have to manually re-enter the info.
