Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Here is how I solved the problem: Manually enter tuition into Form 8815.
In TurboTax desktop version, View > Forms, find Form 8815, then follow these instructions to manually enter data:
Line 2: Enter the total qualified higher education expenses paid during the tax year.
Line 3: Subtract any nontaxable educational benefits received (e.g., scholarships or grants).
Line 4: Calculate the net qualified education expenses (Line 2 minus Line 3).
Line 5: Enter the total proceeds (principal and interest) from all Series I bonds cashed during the year.
Line 6: Enter the interest portion of the proceeds.
Line 8: Multiply the interest by the ratio of qualified expenses to total proceeds (Line 4 ÷ Line 5).
Line 9: Enter your MAGI. If it exceeds the threshold ($xxx,xxx for married filing jointly), the exclusion is disallowed.
