Didn’t file my 1098-tile how do i file it

If you are asking how to include your Form 1098-T as part of your return, but you have not filed yet, then start by going to the Education section of your return using these steps:  

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “education” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax,If you are asking about filing Form 1098-T, start by going to the Education section of your return using these steps:   click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to education
  • Click on the blue “Jump to education” link

Then, if you are not prompted to enter your 1098-T, go through the entire education expenses section of your return until you reach the screen titled “Your Education Expenses Summary”, then follow these steps:

  • Click Edit next to the student name.
  • On the screen titled “Here’s your Education Summary”, click Edit beside Tuition.
  • Enter the information from your Form 1098-T.

 

If you have already filed your return and you are asking how to add your Form 1098-T, then consider the following. 

 

If your return has been accepted by the IRS, then you will need to file an amended return in order to include the information on your Form 1098-T.  

 

If your return is rejected for any reason, then you can include the 1098-T information before you resubmit it.

 

You should wait until your refund has been received before amending your return so that you know the original return has been fully processed.   Then, use the instructions in the following TurboTax article to amend your return:
