I am having the same exact issue as everyone else on this thread.  I have tried twice now to go through the "Amendment" process using the 2018 software and although I qualify for the Tuition and Fees above the line deduction - the program is not recognizing it.  I did look on the IRS site and they do have the NEW Form 8917 for Tuition and Fees posted online.  On the form it notes at the top "Use this form for qualified tuition and fees paid in 2018, 2019, or 2020, and later years if legislation extends the deduction".  The problem is that the 2018 Turbo Tax program is not recognizing that the Tax Extender for Tuition and Fees was passed in January 2020 and made retroactive for the 2018 tax year.  Please look into this matter - as I'm sure there are many people that would like to amend their 2018 taxes and receive this above the line deduction.
