Education

A potential workaround for now. Go into Forms view. On left pane, select "People wks" form. The dependent should appear as Person on the Return. Scroll down to "Part IV - Education expenses". Enter required room and board, required fees, computer, etc. in the Total column. Note - the form did not populate the additional columns under Amount Eligible for on this form. Save the tax return. On left pane, select "Student info wk". The calculations for Amount Eligible shows up on this form. Note - do not enter the education expenses directly on this form (Student info wk); there is a warning that "Part VI cannot be entered directly on this worksheet. Data must be entered on People Wks." If you enter data here, it will disappear after you exit the program.
