Should I claim my tuition now or wait until I owe taxes in later years to claim it?

Yes, you will enter /claim your tuition every year, and if it is not needed it will be carried forward to next year's taxes. TurboTax will automatically take what is needed from your tuition credits and use them if necessary to bring down your return if you owe. If not it will be saved, year after year until it is needed. 

See here how to enter and claim your tuition.
