Amending return for education expense deduction from 1099-r income for 2017

My daughter's 1099-r income was handled different by Turbo Tax in 2017 from in 2018. In 2018 she was given a deduction for having higher education expenses but in 2017 was not.

How do I amend her return on line to get the deduction benefit for 2017?

Explain more. A 1099-R reports a distribution from a retirement account.

There is no "education expense deduction". Are you referring to the exception of the 10% early distribution penalty for IRA distributions used for higher education?

If so, what was the 1099-R box 7 code?

Was the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box checked?
