Thanks I have done those things and keep getting rejected because of the American opportunity credit. And I don't qualify for it.

Since you do not qualify for the AOTC Credit let's delete it and see if that clears the problem.

Here is how to delete the Form 1098-T

Open your return in TurboTax. (To do this, sign in to TurboTax, and select the Take me to my return button.)
In the left sidebar, select Tax Tools> Tools.

Select Delete next to Form 1098-T and follow the onscreen instructions.

Why would I want to delete the 1098-T form when I'm in college and I have that form to fill out

You may not need to, but it might be a good idea to redo it and really look at the questions carefully in case a wrong answer is disqualifying you. You may actually be eligible or you may be eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit, instead.

Please see this LINK that explains what you need to qualify for each.
