Thank you for your answer but you seem to have misunderstood my comment. The software should tell ME why; I shouldn't have to go somewhere else to ask. If it's because of dependent status, the software should tell me. If I have already gotten all of the tax deductions allowed for my son, the software should tell me. Why would I have to go outside the software to find out why the software says the tuition I paid doesn't qualify; especially when the software knows EXACTLY why the tuition I paid doesn't qualify for a tax deduction. Basically what I get from TurboTax is "Hey, it doesn't qualify... I'm NOT going to tell you why, you just have to trust me blindly. If you want to know why, just go ask some strangers and give them a bunch of information about your personal situation and they can tell you. I know, but I'm just not going to tell you."
