Yes, but this could take some digging. First, verify that you are claiming your son as a dependent. Select him as the student and verify at least half time, 5 months, etc. Go back through what you are so familiar with - sometimes we mark a box wrong by accident.

 

Once you enter the school, you should be able to enter the 1098-T. Do you have scholarships in box 5 that are taking the tuition in box 1? We can work around that.  The IRS has a great brochure that explains how scholarships and tax credits interact.

The AOTC is only good for 4 years. Since you are on year 5, LLC is your only option. See  What You Need to Know about AOTC and LLC.
