You will qualify for the AOTC if you have paid any qualified education expenses out of pocket.  You should receive a Form 1098-T.  However if you did not receive one, you can still claim the credit if you meet the criteria.  Here are the steps how you claim in the program:

 

In TurboTax online,

  • Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "1098t" and Enter
  • Select Jump to 1098t
  • Follow prompts
