Yes, you can, assuming all other qualifying requirements are met.

As you've experienced already, there's not a requirement that the credit must be used in consecutive years. What would disqualify you is if you've claimed it in any four previous years.

Please see the TurboTax FAQ "Who is eligible to take the American Opportunity Tax Credit?" below for the qualifying information.
