Why does turbo tax think I'm a student?

Turbo Tax thinks I'm a student.  I'm  not.  I have a special situation whereby my children go to University tuition free because I work there.  It is considered a scholarship for them but they claimed on their own taxes.  I must have answered a question incorrectly and I don't know how to look at the list to correct it.

Why does turbo tax think I'm a student?

There may be a code on your W-2 indicating the tuition benefit.

As long as you are not entering education expenses, this will not affect your return.
