I use TurboTax online so I can't say if it is any different in the desktop version.
For me I just basically did what the previous post said. I was in the "Expenses and Scholarships" section, on the screen that says
"Next, We'll See Which Deduction or Credit Will Save You the Most"
I typed “letme” in the search box. I did click on the “Jump to letme” link
It came up to a screen that looked like this:
Education Credits and Deduction
Do you want to change the education calculations? |
Clicked continue
The next screen had a message:
"Income and deductions you enter can impact your education deduction and credits.
On the next screen, choose between the American opportunity credit, lifetime learning credit and the tuition and feees deduction for each student. Then we'll show you the result of your selections".
Clicked continue
ON the next screen it showed the three credits/deductions. For Lifetime Learning Credit and Tuition and Fees Deduction it had “n/a”. For the AOC it had a checkbox that I was able to unselect.
Then I hit continue and it did seem to save that setting.
