Question

Last year, I was able to receive $2000 due to the Lifetime Learning Credit. Why does this no longer apply to me this year?

It should. Unlike the AOTC, there is no limit on how many time you can claim it.  The LLC is a non refundable credit, it can only be used to reduce a tax liability (if you got full $2000 in past, that's probably not the reason).

 

If you are eligible, you have answered  something wrong, in the interview. But, a lot of people are just not eligible. See  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/llc
