Why is my tuition amount a red flag?

I reached the end of my taxes before filing them and a page popped up saying that because my tuition was over $5000, it was a red flag and I could possibly be audited? The tuition amount is correct, plus for two semesters it is normal for tuition to be over $5000. Is this something I should be concerned about?

The red flag means audit risk alerts and it is nothing to worry about - they commonly pop for tuition and medical expenses as a reminder to check your amounts.

Thank you for choosing Turbotax.
