Yes, there is. See the instructions below on how to use letme.
Generally speaking, the IRS only lets you take one education credit or deduction.
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.
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.
