TurboTax says that there is no amounts that can be transferred to a parent but in the summary, it states that there is over $1K in amounts the student is carrying forward

Is that 1k amount from the previous years? You can only transfer tuition from the current year.

In order to transfer your unused tuition credits to someone else, you'll first need to inform them of the precise amount(s) so that they can claim them on their own tax return. The first step is to enter your income information into TurboTax, then claim your tuition fees. TurboTax will then automatically calculate the maximum amount of credits you may transfer to another party.

Refer to the following steps for instructions on how to transfer your unused tuition credits in TurboTax: How do I transfer my unused tuition credits to someone else?
