kylevv,

 

While the rather terse prior replies seemed reasonable, I see that, according to

 

March 23rd IRS - unemployment not counted towards ... (intuit.com)

 

the unemployment compensation does (a) reduce your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) and (b) does not increase your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI).   IRS Publication 970 (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf) provides the details on how to calculate MAGI from your AGI for the Lifetime Learning Credit and neither it, nor the online updates page for that publication, mention anything about unemployment compensation.

 

So, as that cited posting indicated, you may want to wait for a bit and, if prior to May 17, no fix is in place, go ahead and file an extension form with payment for the figure TurboTax shows due at that point so that when you later file by October 15, you will get a refund of the overpayment.
