Get your taxes done using TurboTax

OK, are you using the CD/download software? If so, it sounds like you will need to go into Forms mode and mark the 2441 the way you want it to be. Understand that overrides may cause the return to be unable to be e-filed. At least, you can undo the changes caused by the $1 entry and stating that your spouse was a student.

 

Sadly, this is likely a side effect the nearly constant changes in tax law in the last three years, many well after the end of each tax year. Hopefully, if the avalanche of Tax Code changes slows, the software can be helped.

 

One last thought - if indeed you have the CD/download software, you might try removing the entries for the $1 and the student. Then go into Forms mode and at the top of the Forms list on the left, click on Open Form (next to Errors). type in 2441, and see if you can double click on what comes up. I am hoping that an empty 2441 is brought up. This may be easier to work on than removing the entries that you entered to get here otherwise.
