Thanks for the info.
So why is TT software allowing the credit then? I am answering the questions the software is asking and I told it we do not have a 1098-T and do not have an EIN, we just entered the tuition costs for daughter to attend school (not living expenses, just cost of college).
The EIN does not seem to be required for the LLC, just the AOTC, although I am also confused on this. Because there are rare cases where you can claim the credit without a 1098-T (as described in the instructions I quoted), I suppose that is why Turbotax allows the credit without the form--you might be in one of those rare situations.
Everything is here.
