Solved

I hear Tuition and Fees Deduction has been extended to 2017 recently (2 days ago), but in TurboTax software, it does not seem to reflect that. Should I wait for update?

Yes, you will have to wait for an update from TurboTax since TurboTax is waiting for an update from the IRS.

I noticed that I should have qualified for a tuition deduction too, but TT didn't give it to me. I decided to print out IRS forms on paper and run through the numbers. Everything looks fine, I used the 1040A and 8917 Form and am going to send it in to the IRS. They have provided the forms. so who am I to doubt them? I do think TT could have given me a heads up on this, as I had to go through a lot to figure this out. This info should be out there for those of us paying paying paying for student loans, educator expenses and then more tuition on top f that!!

You have to file an amended tax return... You can't just refile a new return if you already filed, it will just be kicked out. This is because the law was changed after tax filing were already being accepted and TT had to wait for the IRS to update their electronic forms first.
