On the "Tell us which person is a student" my name is not listed on the dropdown. How do I get it there?

    Anyone being claimed on the return should be listed as a potential student. Since your name is not there, I wonder if your parents are claiming you. If your parents claim you, they also claim the education credit.

    If you are claiming yourself, go back through the interview questions. This is a good time to talk to your parents. Parents usually qualify for the credit and a larger one at that. See Whom May I Claim as a Dependent?
