Deductions & credits

Thank you for your response. Some of your points are valid. However, TT should be able to track when it was used for prior years and it could spit out a disclaimer, using what you stated. However, providing no guidance at all is a cop out, like the prepared explanation one gets from overseas hired help by Intuit (they are experts in copy and paste responses).  The form 8863 itself provides no guidance on the number of years used.  I'd be happy to look at the Line# that would show when and how many times used...maybe I am overlooking it...the dependent only started attending college in August/September 2022, so prior to it they were in high school so that would not be applicable.

 

In terms of other software, I have only used TT and have been using it for 20 years plus. If they would just hire American programmers who know US taxes as a user and filer, we would not have half the incompetent programming issues with it. But that's a different beef all together.

 

Anyway, thank you for your response.
