No. Wait until next year when you are preparing a 2024 tax return. And...if you can be claimed as someone else's dependent (your parents?) they are the ones who get to use the AOC on their return.

Q. Can I claim the AOTC for 2023 if I start school January 2024 ?

A. Yes, but only if you actually made the tuition payment in 2023, for the first term starting in 2024. In fact, your school is suppose to issue you a 2023 form 1098-T, in this situation.
