How do I claim the lifetime learning credit instead of an education deduction

[MollsBBU]

If you qualify for two or more education credits or deductions, the TurboTax Education Optimizer picks the one that gives you the biggest tax break. 

However, to override this selection, search for letme (one word, no space) in your TurboTax program's search box.

This will take you to the Education Credits and Deduction screen, where you can switch to a different education credit or deduction, assuming you meet the qualifications.
