" support myself selection on yes"
The support yourself question is not good enough. You have to get the support yourself with earned income question
I just tried it (Desktop Deluxe). It seems simple:
-Don't check the box that says somebody can claim you
-Say yes to working on a degree
-Check full time student
-Check yes to provide more than half your support with earned income
In the educational expenses section, at the "Here's your education summary" screen, click edit at "Education Information" and go thru the qualifying interview again (or delete the student and do the whole section again)
"Another taxpayer can claim me as a dependent on their tax return." and say no to the "Will this person claim you on their 2024 tax return?"
That will allow you to claim the nonrefundable portion of the AOTC. If you have a $2500 tax liability, that will work.
"When I tried to do so it asked me to add the recipient's SSN to my 1095-A form as if I wasn't the principal on it when I am and there are no other individuals on my policy statement for last year. Would it be okay to put mine on it or is it doing it that way wrong altogether?"
Huh? I'm not familiar with form 1095-A, so I don't try to answer questions in that area. That said, I've never heard of it affecting the AOTC.
