Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Do you mean you are getting an Education Credit for your 22 year old?  A dependent cannot claim an education credit, only the person claiming them can claim the credit.   You would be the one that would get the credit for all 3 of them.  None of them would be eligible to claim it on their return with you claiming them. 

 

Are all 3 seeking degrees?  Is there a difference in how you entered the info on them all?  Did you mark that you are claiming the 22 year old as a dependent.  

 

 

Did they all receive the exact same amount?  Did the 22 year old have more earned income?  Is there something different on their return than the other 2?
