By reviewing your prior years' tax returns and looking to see if Form 8863 was attached. 

 

The American Opportunity Credit (AOC)  is only for the first 4 years of higher education. If you are in graduate school you cannot use the AOC, but you may use the Lifetime Learning Credits (LLC).

 

See additional useful information on AOC.
