Deductions & credits

That's correct, no one else claims me. I was a student from January - May of 2019. I do have additional income from August - December of 2019.

 

I just re-entered the form and suddenly the refund amount increased. This time, it asked me "Were you working on a Bachelor's, Graduate, or Associate's Degree?" to which I answered "Yes" - I didn't get that prompt before, so I'm not sure what changed. This time around, i was presented with a whole different set of prompts, was able to claim the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit, and now there is a value showing on Schedule 3 for Education Credits. Again, I'm not sure what changed, but this seems to be the expected behavior now
