Grad School and AOTC eligibility after claiming it twice in undergrad school

I claimed the AOTC twice while paying for my daughter’s undergrad costs, in 2019 and 2020.  She started grad school in 2024, and is paying the costs out of pocket with some assistance from an employer reimbursement program.  She paid $8000 in 2024, but was reimbursed $4000 in January 2025.

 After entering her information in the educational credit section, TT only brought up the Lifetime Learning credit.  My understanding is that the AOTC can be claimed up to 4 times, but I don't know if this applies to undergrad only. 

 

So, should she be eligible to claim the AOTC as a grad student?  If not, is this because a new claim would not be consecutive?  If she should be eligible, how should she enter her information to access some or all of the AOTC?

 

Thank you
