US savings bonds for college

I received my 1099-INT form and it had the US Bonds I cashed in for child in Box #3.  I used the program and it stepped me through the process.

Window : Respond Ed Expenses

- I  put in Qualified Education Expense = 24K

- Non-tax = 0

Window: Additional Bond Information

- Total Received = 20K (received from cashing in the US bonds)

- Paper Series...20K

- Remaining I left blank.

I was surprised by the last window:  Exclusion Amount ZERO.

Did I make a mistake or did the government set a limit on income to use these.

Thank you for your help!
