Educational expense not paid to school, there is no where to input this info. Anyone else coming across this issue.

Only options are expenses paid to the school. It's stated that you can add other expenses later but it never allows you to.

Yes a major issue and there are many posts about it. As of this writing it does not appear that TurboTax is planning to address or resolve it according to the responses of an employee in this post - where they removed that ability [this year] by design:

I encourage you to add any comments in that post.

The workaround for now is to go into the forms view. I outlined the steps to use the forms view in that post. Please note that the post is still fresh so maybe (long shot) something will change, but personally I highly doubt it this late. Good luck

At the screen "Did (student's name) have any of these common situations in 2025", check the box "had education expenses other than tuition".

That will get you a screen, later, "Time to enter (student's name) educational expenses". Enter those expenses at "Optional books and materials from the school".  

Do not enter room & board there. TT is working on the R&B entry, for 529 distributions.

Yep, noticed that, at least they got books & materials in, hopefully room & board will be soon.
