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/AOTC

You can use this IRS tool https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/am-i-eligible-to-claim-an-education-credit

 

 But, don't go by that "refund meter" at the top of the screen. Sometimes it's not accurate until additional info is entered.
