How can I indicate that my dependant was a student in 2021 so I can Transfer Tution to my return. Doing a ReFile.

On the left In TurboTax Online, click Deduction, and select Additional Dependant Info, you can indicate whether your dependant is a student or not.

 

And then you can:

  1. Select Find, enter claims for dependants into the search field, and then select Go
  2. On the Claims for Dependants step, select Yes to Would you like to review or claim any of these credits?, then select Continue
  3. On the Your children and other dependants step, select Enter Credit Info next to the dependant transferring their amount to you
  4. On the Claim Dependant Credits step, select Transfer my child’s tuition and education amounts, then select Continue
