Education

This may be redundent, but it is an attempt to tie everything together.

First, delete the 1098-T screen, then delete your dependent.

To Delete a Form

Open your return in TurboTax.

In the left side bar, select Tax Tools> Tools.
In the pop-up window Tool Center, choose Delete a form.
Select Delete next to the form/schedule/worksheet and follow the onscreen instructions

I have done this next step numerous times (after not finding the dependent listed) and it always works. Since I practice different scenarios, I clear and start over many times on this practice return. The dependent will be in the drop down box along with both taxpayers.

In the drop down box in the Education Credit section, I can see the dependent, along with both taxpayers.

You can't claim education expenses for a person who isn't your dependent. If you don't see one of your dependents listed here, we recommend you visit My Info and enter them as your dependent, then their name will show up here and we'll be able to work on their education expenses.
