After you enter the education information, the program calculates the most advantageous credit when you click "Maximize my Education Tax Break". This could also generate a Form 8863. If you do not want the credit, but instead wish to take the "Tuition and Fees Deduction" (this usually has a smaller impact on your tax liability/refund) change your choice of credit/deduction for the education section.

Sign into your account and start the return

Type letme (as one word) into the search box

Click the "Jump to letme" link (please see screenshot)

Answer "Yes" you wish to change the credit

Check Tuition and Fees and Continue (please see screenshot)

Now Form 8917 is listed (please see screenshot)

If you change your mind, you can repeat the process and choose another available option
