When reviewing our completed filing, our Form 8863, question #23 shows NO when our son DID claim the AOC in 2020. How do I change this?

You may need to delete the education entry and re-enter it. You will see an option for that on the screen that says Your Education Summary when you update your form 1098-T entry.

To edit your answers In TurboTax Online,

Click Pick up where you left off
Click Federal in left pane
Click Deductions & Credits tab at top
Scroll down to Education and click the Show more dropdown to the right
Select Revisit to the right of Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
On the Your Education Expenses Summary page, select Edit to the right of the appropriate student’s name
On the Here’s X’s Education Summary page, select Edit to the right of Education Information

This will take you back through the interview process.

Thanks for your quick reply. Went through the interview questions again but did not see a question about if "this student claimed the AOC for any 4 tax years before 2021". He DID claim it in 2020
