It says I don't qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit. It's forcing me to get deluxe because it says you have lifetime lrng credit. How do I file without deluxe?

Earlier in the application it says "you don't qualfiy for the Lifetime Learning Credit." However, at the end, it says I need to upgrade to the deluxe because "you have the lifetime learning credit." How do I file without deluxe?

Do you have a 1098-T and if yes, what is in Box 1 and Box 5. 

Do you know why you do not qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit?

[tlt24271]

Yes, I have a 1098-T. I put the amounts off of my form from boxes 1 and 5. It didn’t say why I didn’t get the lifetime learning credit.

See What education tax credits are available?  for a chart to determine if you qualify.

The LLC is a non refundable credit. It only helps if you have an actual tax liability.

If you don't qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit,  or want to eliminate it, you'll have to delete the forms that are related to education credits.

 If you see form 8863 and form 1098-T, delete them. Click here for instructions
