Why do I need to upgrade to turbotax Deluxe because I "have Lifetime Learning Credit," even though my deductions and credits section says I don’t qualify and have $0?

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

Awesome! It worked, thank you so much 🙂
