    If you were a college student in 2024,

    the program is asking if BEFORE 2024, you were in college. 

     

    There is also a question asking if you complete all four years of the degree (graduated) BEFORE January 2024. 

    This means that you could have gone on to Graduate school in 2024, but as long as you did not earn a Bachelor's degree BEFORE January 2024, you can apply for the American Opportunity Tax Credit for 2024. You were still in the four years of the degree in 2024 if you did not graduate in 2023 or earlier.
