Deductions & credits

Probably not a bug. It works fine in my test.

 

The 1040 Instructions say,

"Qualified expenses don’t include expenses for home schooling or for nonathletic supplies for courses in health or physical education.

You must reduce your qualified expenses by the following amounts.

• Excludable U.S. series EE and I savings bond interest from Form 8815.

• Nontaxable qualified tuition program earnings or distributions.

• Any nontaxable distribution of Coverdell education savings account earnings.

• Any reimbursements you received for these expenses that weren’t reported to you in box 1 of your Form W-2."

 

Any of those apply to you two?

 

If you have paid for the Online software or are using the CD/download software, you can look for the Educator Expenses Worksheet - you will see the limitation of your deduction here.
