Tuition Transfer of 2 kids not working

I have 2 kids whom I have completed their taxes using TurboTax have submitted and followed the instructions to transfer to parent.  I am in the dependent screen and have entered Credit Info for both of the kids.

1 kids is for 1,574.80 and the other is for 1055.84, so combined they are under the $5000 limit.

Now in the next screen only 1 of my kids Tuition and Education amount is present not both.  The amount put on the highest earner under the Tuition and Education amount only displays 1055.84.

 

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.  The amount should be $2630.64

The tuition transfer is non-refundable, so TurboTax will only use what is required to reduce taxes owing.
