How can I get the form 8880 work around. I know I qualify but Turbo tax says I dont. I am not a student and I am in the income range.

What about your birthdate? 

Are you filing Form 2555 or 4563? 

SAVER’S CREDIT

However, you can’t take the credit if either of the following applies.

• The amount on Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 11, is more than $32,500 ($48,750 if head of household; $65,000 if married filing jointly).

• The person(s) who made the qualified contribution or elective deferral

     (a) was born after January 1, 2003;

     (b) is claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2020 tax return; or

     (c) was a student.

 CAUTION You’ll need to refigure the amount on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 11, if you’re filing Form 2555 or Form 4563

The Retirement Savings Contributions Credit (“Saver’s credit”) is very limited and is for low income people. See the table on  Form 8880: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8880.pdf

You, or your spouse, must  not have taken money out of a retirement account (including drawing a pension) in the last three years.

You, or your spouse, must  not have taken money out of a retirement account (including drawing a pension) in the last three years. See line 2 on form 8880.

 Until you indicate that you are not a full-time student,  the program won't give you the credit.  You may have to go through the error-check/review.  

It is not a refundable credit. You must have a tax liability to take the credit against.

TurboTax (TT) will check this automatically when it sees you made a qualified contribution. If you want to verify that happened;  enter in TT at:

The free version of Turbo Tax doesn't include this. You have to pay.
