Hi Dave,
This advise is not correct, and the information at that link is outdated. Please read the first paragraph on the new form 8917. The deduction had previously expired after 2017, but was just renewed (including retroactively) end of 2019. So the question now is when Turbotax 2018 will be updated so we can file amended returns?
Deduction extended. The tuition and fees deduction is
extended for qualified tuition and fees paid in calendar years
2018, 2019, and 2020. Don’t claim the deduction for expenses
paid after 2020 unless the credit is extended again. Use Form
8917 (Rev. January 2020) and these instructions for years after
2017, unless a newer revision is issued indicating it is
succeeding this revision.
