Education
Thanks so much for the help!
One last question- when I get past the entering the tuition information on my child's return- it's asking for the parents SSN. Why is it asking for this information and whose SSN do I enter here? Is it going to ask for income info, etc after this? I've never had this prompt before, I'm assuming it's because there is unearned income to tax?
Also, does it make a difference on whose SSN to put when it comes to parent vs. step parent?
My daughter is my step child on my return, I claim her as a dependent and have her whole life. TurboTax gives me the option of selecting a step child under the dependent information. I assumingly would put my SSN in on her return when it asks for it, since I'm the one claiming her and her education credits. Is this accurate?
Thanks!
