What were you hoping to accomplish? If your only income was Social Security, you were not required to file a tax return unless you have a 1095A for marketplace health insurance. You are not eligible for any sort of child-related credits if you did not have income from working, nor would you get any sort of refundable education credit for college students if you did not work.
We qualify for the American opportunity credit for education. Turbo says so. We also have a $2300 guitar that was required.
“Hoping to accomplish”
don’t reply to me again please.

Try using the IRS interactive tool to see if the IRS says you are eligible for education credit.

AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY TAX CREDIT
Although you have no tax liability, the AOTC has a refundable component of up to $1000 per student who you can claim as a dependent.
You have not mentioned whether you prepared your tax return using TurboTax. TT cannot intercede with the IRS for you. If you believe the IRS is incorrect, you could try contacting a Tax Advocate for help with the IRS.
TAX ADVOCATE

Thank you.
I’ve contacted a tax advocate- nothing but what I said they needed per the congressman. IRS has no idea and says nothings been mailed. Just a delay. The letter the tax advocate sent says I need to send them my son’s transcripts, loan and grant disbursement which I thought ridiculous because the 1098 included that. I feel harassed and not finding help anywhere
If IRS says they have no record of your tax return, you have to submit it.
If Turbotax thinks you e-Filed, you have to print sign and mail it.
