Students, who are less than half time, are not eligible for the American Opportunity Credit (the one with the up to $1000 refundable portion).

They are eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit, which can only be used to reduce an actual tax liability.

To change your student status, Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary". Click edit next to the student's name. That should take you to a screen “Here’s your Education Summary”. Click edit next to “Education Information”.
