Education

Thank you for the reply. My son's status is independent and single.   He is not not being claimed in my tax filings.     The other piece of this is my son had +$22k in long term capital gains which put him at total

income of ~$30k, which was enter into Turbotax.   Turbotax did calculate his taxes due on the gains

and reduce his tax refund substantial. 

 

What I am trying to obtain is are the details of how TurboTax  decided Lifetime Learning Credit was not applicable when the program blindly performs "Maximize My Education Tax Break".
