Question

1098T

I am unable to enter my daughter's 1098T tuition expenses on her taxes.  The amount already entered is $0 and it said that I entered that earlier.  I did not enter it earlier.  She had very little income last year so would that cause this?

Did you go to "Deductions & Credits" in the Federal sections and scroll down to "Education"?

(you may need to answer Yes/No questions and/or click "Show all tax breaks" to find it.
