I am now very confused. There are web sites that say you can use AOTC for graduate school, provided you did not attend 4 years of post secondary education. The wording, while you imply that it is no longer valid if you received your bachelors, does not explicitly state that. So if I got my bachelors in 3 years, did not use the AOTC at all, I would think I can use the AOTC for my first year of grad school. If that is wrong, can someone point to either a case where the IRS refused the AOTC or it explicitly says you cannot use it if you received a specific degree?
