Qualified Education Deduction

Susan1949 — Sun, 06 Feb 2022 19:14:13 GMT

In the process of e-filing my federal and state returns. I have contributed to a qualified education scholarship in previous years but am now using only the carryover credits from my state for my state return only. Turbo Tax keeps requiring that I enter the amount I claimed for my federal income tax deduction this year, but I have not claimed any amount as I am using only carryover credits for my state. Is this a system glitch or am I misunderstanding how to enter the information? I cannot seem to proceed to filing without this being addressed.

Can you please clarify what state you are working on?

In response to your question, I live and file in Georgia.

Thanks.

Have you tried entering $0 for the amount you claimed in 2021?
