pre school tuition tax deduction

2356448 — Mon, 24 Feb 2025 01:07:29 GMT

hello,

I'm having an issue inputing my son's pre school tuition in the child dependent tax credit section. it's asking if my wife or I were full time students, disabled or none of the above. we were both working, not students and not disabled. where can I apply my son's tuition in this space to see if we get a credit? we didn't receive a 1099T but our school gave us all the state and federal Tax Id's. I have turbotax deluxe.

I'll be grateful for any help or advice.

thanks!

Since you mention 1099-T, I am thinking that you are entering the pre-school tuition in the wrong section.

DO NOT ENTER UNDER Deductions & Credits

For the dependent care credit, both parents must work, or be full time students. If Turbotax is not seeing that you both work, you may have assigned both W-2s to the same spouse. Go back and review your W-2s.
