can mother and father both claim the tuition fee transfer from two different child

we have two children studying at universities. I want to claim a tuition fee transfer from one child, while my spouse wants to claim a tuition fee transfer from another child, but all tuition transfer fee only goes to one parent, cannot separate from your turbo tax. How can I have two separate tuition fee transfer claim into our two returns? We are married, not separated.

Yes, you both can claim your children's tuition fees.

Make sure you enter the amount your child is transferring over to you.

I am having the same problem. I start by transferring the tuition of my first child to myself. Then I transfer the tuition of my second child to my spouse. But the tuition of my first child is also switched to my spouse. I switch it back to myself, but then the tuition of my second child is also switched to me. You can't seem to transfer the tuition of two children separately. This sounds like a bug to me. Can you confirm? If so, please fix it ASAP. I am using TurboTax Standard. Thank you.
