Can I deduct my son's student loan interest in my tax return even if he's already graduated? Turbotax is asking for his enrollment status in 2018. Does it matter?

Yes, you can deduct the student loan interest as long as you are legally obligated to pay the interest on the qualified student loan. The interest deduction is for the life of the loan you are obligated to pay, not just while he is in school.

Am I the only one with the cost on turbotax doubling from last year. I paid 128 for federal+state, this year I was forcibly enrolled in a "premium" category for 200+
