My Retirement Savings Contributions Credit is 0% of my contribution. All recommendations of falsely claiming that I was a student DOES effect my taxes. Other suggestions?

I went based on the recommendations of TurboTax professionals and the selection of being a full-time student while working profoundly effected my Federal Tax return in an attempt to bypass the Retirement Savings Contribution Credit. And I want to bypass it because my income and retirement fund gets me zero percent of a credit. So why should I have to upgrade to TurboTax Deluxe when I'm not benefiting from a tax credit? Please help.

If your credit for this is calculated to be 0%, TurboTax will not include Form 8880 and there will be no need to upgrade.  If in the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit section (not elsewhere in TurboTax) claiming that you are a full-time student changes your tax liability, it seems that you are mistaken that you do not qualify for the credit.
