American Opportunity Tax Credit

Can I claim my student loan interest that I paid all year under the American Opportunity tax credit form even if I graduated in 2009? I didn't get to claim this last year and am still paying on books on my credit card, if that matters...

Prepaid Tuition Plan( MET) and The American Opportunity Credit

I realize I can not claim the American Opportunity credit for qualified expenses paid with EARNINGS from a qualified tuition program under Section 529 but can I claim the credit for the amount that I paid for the contract in 1990?
