I forgot to include my form 1098-E for student loan interest paid. Is there a way that I can go back and enter that information if I have already filed my federal taxes?

There's no way to go back to it now. You have to wait until after January 23 to see if your tax return is accepted or rejected. If it's rejected you can add the 1098-E when you correct the reason for the rejection, then resubmit your return. If your return is accepted, you will have to wait until after the IRS processes the tax return and pays your refund. Then you will have to file an amended return (Form 1040X) to add the 1098-E. Form 1040X will be available in TurboTax towards the end of January or early February.
