Education

One more thing: TT might (probably not) try to assign expenses to the tuition credit (assuming the parent claimed it).

 

If a bigger amount is taxed, Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary".  Click edit next to the student's name. That should take you to a screen “Here’s your Education Summary”. Click edit next to “Education Information”. When you get to the screen titled “Amount Used to Calculate Education Deduction or Credit”, verify the amount you want to use or change it (to 0, in your case).

 

You might reach that screen earlier in the interview (or a screen telling you that 0 was used for the credit).
