Revisit the Education section in Personal, Deductions & Credits.  Having a felony conviction will disallow the American Opportunity Credit.

 

Change the answer to 'Have you ever had a felony conviction?' to No

 

You would enter the uupdated 1098-T information under the Federal section of the TurboTax program.

  1. Select "Deductions & Credits"
  2. Select "Expenses & Scholarships (1098-T)"
  3. Click start
  4. Follow the screen to enter the applicable information
