How do I enter my college tuition expenses into TurboTax Online? When I try to enter it into the 1098T section I only get the question prompts about books and supplies.

  1. Proceed through the entire education section answering all of the additional questions - you will go through about 8-10 additional screens, and then you should reach a summary page.
  2. On the Education Summary screen at the end of the section, click Edit/Delete.
  3. Edit your entries to add the data from Form 1098-T.

 

If you still cannot edit the data or you cannot get to the Education Summary screen, follow these additional steps:

  1. Click on Tax Tools in the menu on the left of the screen.
  2. Click on Tools.
  3. Scroll down the list of forms and click delete beside Form 1098-T.
  4. Confirm on the next screen by clicking Delete Form.
  5. Scroll down the list of forms again and click Delete beside Education Tuition and Fees Summary.
  6. Again, confirm on the next screen by clicking Delete Form.

This should clear the section out entirely and let you start fresh.
