My nephew has ~$10,000 in unused federal tuition and education amount carried over from 2015. He started working full time in 2016. Without using the tuition carry over, he already has a $300 tax return (as his income was less than $20,000 in 2016). However, the TurboTax software is automatically applying ~$5,000 this year and carrying over the rest. Is there a way I can manually change this so that I can carry over the full $10,000 amount to apply in future years when his income is higher?
