Why is TurboTax listing me as the student when I enter my dependent's tuition info for deduction?

When I select Add a Student it pre-fills my name and it can't be changed.

When you get to the education summary screen, delete yourself.

When I delete myself, all info and the tax credit for the deduction is removed.

At the screen Your Education Expenses Summary Are you able to click Add a student?
