The 2017 programs will inform you, after you enter the education information, what credits are available for 2017. To project what credits will be available for 2018, you can use the new free service we offer called TaxCaster. You can use this to make estimates about 2018. For the credits, you will need to know what you have taken in the past and report if the American Opportunity Credit will have been claimed 4 times before the 2018 tax year. If the student that starts Grad school in the Fall has also attended college as an undergrad, that student can be considered an undergrad for all of 2018 and you can claim ALL the student's expenses if they are your dependent.
