A 1098-E shows the student interest loan that was paid. A 1098-T shows tuition and scholarships.

Q.   Can you upload a 1098-E instead of a 1098-T? 

A. No.  They are two different documents with different purposes.

 

Q.  What is the difference?

A. The 1098-E is to report the interest on a student loan.  The 1098-T reports tuition paid and scholarships received. 

 

I don't recall TT giving you the option of uploading.  I think both documents have to be entered manually.
