Question

I have an unclaimed student tax credit from 2018. Am I able to claim both 2018 and 2020's student tax credit this year? If so, how can I do that with Turbo Tax?

Be aware that dependents cannot get education credits.   If you were someone's dependent for 2018 only the person who claimed you as a dependent for 2018 can use the education credit,
