Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

2024 was my 5th year of a regular 4-year program. I had never claimed an AOTC before. Would I be able to claim AOTC when filing for 2024?

I'm filing for the year of 2024. Turbotax is adding this to me automatically.
Here's a timeline:
- Started college in Aug 2019
- Transferred to another institution (where I finished my degree) in May 2020

- Started the program Aug 2020 (considered as my second year of college)

- Graduated in May 2024 (fifth year of college).

Other details: I was a NRA before 2021, and turned into RA starting 2021. I had never claimed AOTC before.

Yes, you can only claim AOTC for years you are an undergraduate and a maximum of 4 times is allowed. You appear to qualify!
