I am trying to figure out how to remove the Lifetime Learning Credit from my taxes. I am not eligible for a Lifetime Learning credit and receive $0 on this credit. TurboTax, however, is making me upgrade to TurboTax deluxe to file on the grounds that "you have a lifetime learning credit" and that TurboTax Free Addition is only for "simple returns." This is incorrect, since it has clearly told be I am not eligible for this credit.
Answers on other posts have suggested that by deleting any 1098-T, 1098-E, and 8863 forms, the Lifetime Learning credit will disappear and I will be able to use Turbo Tax Free Addition. I have deleted all of those forms and it still tells me I need to upgrade due to the Lifetime Learning Credit. How do I remove this credit if deleting these forms didn't work?
