Q. Can someone help me to figure out how to correct in Turbotax?
A. One problem, I've seen, and it carries over from last year, is that TT has allocated $10,0000 of expenses to the tuition credit, even though the student is not claiming the credit. In the past, TT provided a screen titled “education expenses used for a tax credit”. It was usually prepopulated (often with $10K). You could change it for the amount you want to allocate to the ed credit (probably $0 in your current scenario). So far, this year, I haven't found that screen, even after the Feb 26-27 updates.
If you don't get that screen, you can check the student information worksheet. You can manually change it there (line 18*). Make the change in the first column, on the left
*line 17 prior to 2025
