Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You said "the tuition fee is covered 100% by scholarship as we are in state student".  Are you sure the scholarship is restricted to tuition?  Verify with your school that the scholarship must be applied to tuition.  If not, you may be eligible for the AOTC

 

There is not a bug in TT.  You're entering the R&B in the wrong place. The reason TT is giving you the AOTC when you enter R&B is because it reallocates the scholarship from tuition to R&B. This frees up the tuition for the AOTC.  

 

Do you have any book and computer expenses that can be allocated to the AOTC?
