How Can I determine the amount of times I claimed American Oppoturnity Tax Credit?

[Bdres305]

I'm currently a Junior in College, while attending  Part Time. I want to know if I would still be eligible to claim that tax credit. Where can I see this on my 2018 tax form? I've filed all my taxes using Turbo Tax since 2014.

You cannot look it up on one specific tax return.  if you were a dependent on someone else's return for any of your college years, the AOC could have been used on their return instead of yours.  So you have to on that with anyone who may have claimed you.  You can use it a total of four times--no matter whose return claimed it for your SSN.  You will have to check back on your own returns and the returns of anyone (parent?) who claimed you.

Would there be a specific thing I would look for in the return? a line for example..

You would look on your previous returns for Form 8863.  There are two possible Education Credits, so if you have that form with your return, you would want to see if you took the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit.
