Education
TurboTax is not providing the option of entering higher education expenses for 2019.
1. It asks, "Did you have any higher education expenses in 2019? This section includes Form 1098-E, Form 1098-T, Scholarships and more.
2. When you click Yes it goes to "Tell us about your education plans" i.e. Coverdell Education Savings Account and distribution from a 1099-Q (QTP). I answer "No" to both.
3. Then it asks for Additional Education Expenses. Book, Classroom Supplies and Lab Equipment. Click "Continue"
4. Did you Pay for Books or Materials to attend school? Yes.
5. It shows "Tuition and Enrollment Fees" $0. With fields to enter Books and Materials "required and Books and Materials "not required".
6. Finally, it says, "You can't claim an education tax break". Based on what you've entered so far you are not eligible for an education credit. Here is why you may not qualify.
- There were no net qualified education expenses.
There is definitely a bug in your software.
