Hi I am using Turbotax online, I noticed that Form 8863 (for education credit) cannot be accessed.

I qualifiy for the Lifetime Learning credit (fulltime student with a federal tax liability). However Turbotax is not presenting the form, I did not see a question being asked either.

In TurboTax (TT), enter education info  at:

Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version)

-Scroll down to:

--Education

  --Education Expenses and Scholarships (1098-T)

If you're using TurboTax Online, you'll be able to see the Form 8863 via print-preview. Here are the instructions to obtain a pdf: How do I get a PDF of my return?

 

When you enter the education expenses from Form 1098-T, and complete the interview in that section regarding the expenses and your situation, TurboTax will automatically compute the education credit. 

 

See What Is the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit? for more information.
