Please be aware that we cannot see any details of your return. Please review the requirements for the lifetime learning credit:

Who is eligible for the Lifetime Learning Credit?

 

You are eligible to claim the Lifetime Learning Credit if all of the following requirements are met:

• You (or your dependent or a third party) paid qualified education expenses for higher education.
• You paid the education expenses for an eligible student.
• The eligible student is you, your spouse, or a dependent you claim an exemption for on your tax return.
• Your modified adjusted gross income is less than $67,000 ($134,000 if you are married filing jointly).
• The credit is reduced between $57,000 and $67,000 ($114,000 and $134,000 if you are married filing jointly).

One of the advantages of the Lifetime Learning Credit is that you can take the credit every year for higher education as long as you meet the qualifying requirements.

If you meet the requirements then

• you can try to delete and renter the education expenses carefully to see if you then qualify. Please see How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online? or
• you can upgrade to TurboTax Live and have someone review your return.
