Filing MN return & the "MN K-12 Education Subtraction" doesn't show up - shouldn't be an income limit. How do I get TurbotTax to give this option? Last year it did.

Last year, Turbotax let me enter this information but this year it seems to skip past it. I don't qualify for the education credit but this has no limit, but no option to consider it or show it as an option. Is it just because I'm taking Standard Deduction or how do I get TurboTax to do the analysis?
