I am trying to enter educational expenses for my two children. In the section "Let's get some information about the students" I answered questions about each one: Son attended both high school and college in 2019 (and had no high school tuition expense) whereas Daughter attended only high school and had high school tuition expenses. But when I get to the next set of questions, e.g., "Now let's gather Son's additional education expenses", Daughter's tuition shows up there and I can't correct it on the screen.
If I go to the "Student Information Worksheets", indeed the background information for the two children is switched, i.e., it shows Son as a high schooler who paid tuition and Daughter as a college student. But the 1098-T information I entered for Son does show up on his Worksheet, so the net result is a mash-up of the two children's profiles. I have checked repeatedly that what I entered on the screens is correct, but for some reason the program is entering them incorrectly.
What is the best way to fix this? Do I need to directly fill out the Student Information Worksheet for each one? Should I reset all the educational information (and if so, how?) and start over?
