Question

Is there a way to edit the qualifications for American Opportunity Credit? It automatically qualified me but I have taken the credit the max amount of years.

Just go back through the interview.  Do note while you are limited in number of years you can claim AOTC, there are other credits possibly applicable. Also note the question about 4 years college, is vague if it took you 5 years to graduate or more as the right answer is NO.

To change your education credit or deduction:

  • Open (continue) your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in, click Take me to my return, then click Pick up where I left off.)
  • Click My Account (top right of your screen).
  • Select Tools.
  • In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
  • In the search bar, type letme.
  • In the results box, highlight letme, then click GO.
  • You'll land on Education Credits and Deductions, where TurboTax asks Do you want change the education calculations? Click Yes.
  • Follow the onscreen instructions to complete this section. You'll be able to Choose Credit or Deduction. (Click the screenshot below to enlarge it for reference.)

Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function (instead of "My Account") to search for the topic.
