How do I deduct textbook costs for college expenses?

[hermit1]

The 1098-T covers tuition.  But what about deducting textbook costs?  Where do I do that?

Keep going after you enter the 1098-T and TurboTax will ask about books and other qualified expenses. The only credit that allows book expenses to be claimed is the American Opportunity Credit for up to 4 tax years of undergraduate study.
