Lifetime education credit

[grandmabee]

I can't get the form to work this year.  I filled out the information from the 1098-T  Only one box,  box 1 with the tuition.

answered the questions and still says I don't qualify for lifetime credit.  Is there another place to fill out?

Total income? MFS? Have you answer the questions where it asks you if the person is a felon?

The other day I caught that ATX was allowing AOTC for a kid who was not pursing a degree or credential.  I realized I had to tell ATX twice that he wasn't.  I hope this helps, I know it's not exactly what you asked for - it's a post I made on the Facebook ATX Tax Software Group:

"You don't check the box on the "Education Expense Input Sheet," and you then also answer Question 2 on the "Education Expenses Detail." That may be how it's been all along, and I just don't remember them needing to be for sure for sure."
