Question

Why is TTax making me pay to upgrade so it can process the Lifetime Learning credit, if that credit isn't even valid for me??

Why am I getting marked with a Lifetime Learning Credit if I am not benefiting from it at all? It clearly said I qualify for no refund for my tuition because I am still a dependent on my parents, but TurboTax wont let me file unless I pay to upgrade to use a credit that isn't even doing anything.

It may be because you added a 1098-T form. If you don't qualify for an education credit or have any taxable scholarship income (box 5 on your 1098-T is more than box 1), then you can delete the form 1098-T entry and that may resolve your issue.
