My dependent went to a foreign University which doesn't issue a 1098T. Therefore we can't claim the AOC. TT wants to claim it for me. How can I remove the AOC from TT?

Q. My dependent went to a foreign University which doesn't issue a 1098T. Therefore we can't claim the AOC.
A. That's not a true statement. A foreign University on the DOE list is an exception to the 1098-T rule. Your other post indicated that you were ineligible for other reasons (usually income too high).
But to answer your question; Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary". Click edit next to the student's name. That should take you to a screen “Here’s your Education Summary”. Click edit next to “Education Information”. When you get to the screen titled “Amount Used to Calculate Education Deduction or Credit”, verify the amount you want to use or change it (to 0 in your case). You may reach that screen sooner.
Alternatively,
Type letme (no space between let & me) in the search box. Then press enter. Then click on the link "jump to letme''.
TT will give you the option to select another tuition credit or none.
OR
Type letme (no space between let & me) in the search box. When the dropdown list appears, click on letme rather than "jump to letme'. On the next drop down, click on the "jump to letme” link.
TT will give you the option to select another tuition credit or none.
Thanks - I didn't realise that I was eligible for AOC as it was a foreign (and approved) university. However I can't figure out a way to keep the AOC non zero whilst not entering the state and school zip as well as EIN number, so have to go with making AOC 0, then I don't have to worry about fixing the state and school zip as well as ein number. Whilst this isn't the best solution, it seems to be the only way forward as I have tried all other solutions people have mentioned without success.
If you have an approved college, you want to claim your expenses and get the AOTC. I think maybe you missed the step where you click that you qualify for an exception. Follow these steps:
Go to deductions and credits
Select expenses and scholarships (form 1098-T)
Enter higher education expenses? Yes

Need federal id, select I can't find the ID
enter tuition
continue going through the section entering information
