Turbotax is automatically selecting American Opportunity Credit but I would like to change to Tuition Deduction. How can I make this change?

Type letme (no space between let & me) in the search box. When the dropdown list appears, click on letme rather than "jump to letme'. On the next drop down, click on the "jump to letme” link.

TT will give you the option to select another tuition  credit or deduction.

Use the tools menu and search topics for "letme".    Then you can select the tuition and feeds deduction.
