Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you received the Tuition and Fees Deduction, that would be up to 4K (Schedule 1, Line 21). 

 

If you received a 1099-Q that was used for Education Expenses, you don't need to enter it in your return.

 

If the 1098-T's show that you qualify for an Education Credit (Box 1 amount larger than Box 5 amount), then enter them for your student(s) to qualify for an Education Credit. 

 

If not, you don't qualify for a credit, (unless you add other Expenses that added to Box 1 are larger than Box 5) which may be why you received the Tuition and Fees Deduction. 

 

You may want to delete both Students from the Education section and start again.

 

Since we can't see your tax return in this forum, you can request an Offline Review if you need more help.
