If they have an EIN you can enter the expenses into the program. (Federal; Deductions & Credits; Education) If not, the expenses cannot be entered into the TurboTax program since the IRS mandates that the EIN be included.

We have gotten this question several times so I assume the IRS will adjust their regulations to address this situation next year.
