Lifetime Learner Credit: Is this a glitch or a scam?

I am being forced to pay $79 to upgrade and file despite having a simple return. I do not and have never had the Lifetime Learning Credit, yet it claims I do and must pay for TurboTax Deluxe. I have cleared the form and started over in case it was a glitch, but it gave me the same message.

If you don't qualify for any Education Credits, go back and delete all the education info you entered.

 

If you're using TurboTax Online, then clear your  Cache and Cookies.
