Question

Can I correct the name that is listed on the Education Expenses Summary? It has my name listed under my son's college. I do have my own student loan though.

Just to clarify, my loan is with another school, not the same one as my son.

Yes, at the end of the Education Section, DELETE the Student on the Education Expenses Summary (screenshot) and Add a Student to enter your son's info. 

 

Since you are not currently a student, you definitely don't belong in this section.

My taxes where accepted by the irs with this mistake. Are they going to reject it?

Probably not, you'll just have to wait and see.

 

Does the error change you bottom line? If so, you'll need to file an amended return.

 

Otherwise, you'll probably never hear from the IRS, but may want to file an amended return to make the correction (I wouldn't).
