App not asking for 1098t

[TheTom]

I received a 1098t form from my daughter's college.  However, in Turbotax Deluxe it is not asking me if I've received that statement.  Instead it shows a $0 for "Tuition and enrollment fees" (which I can't change) and when I click on it the pop-up says, "..Note: You entered this number in earlier."

But I did not enter this number and I can't seem to update it

Make sure you haven entered your daughter's information as a dependent if you are planning to deduct an Education Credit for her.

Go back into the dependent section and verify that you entered her as a dependent and if it asked if she was a student, be sure to say yes.

The Education Credit should be in the Credits section of the return.

Thank you for the response.  I had included her as a dependent.  I ended up calling TurboTax and the rep was very helpful.  I had to switch to the "forms" view (clicked forms at the top of the screen) and enter the numbers manually.

Apparently the form had imported with zeros instead of the actual payment numbers.  No idea why!

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 the section you want to change; tuition, in your case (click edit next to the school name).
