How do I modify (correct) the "Tuition and enrollment fees" value under education expenses?

I'm not seeing a way to do that in the 1098-T part of Turbotax.

TurboTax actually calculates which deduction you are entitled to from your input in the 1098-T section of the interview. 

 

I recommend going back through the interview section as follows and correcting your entries here.

  1.  Go to the Federal section of the program
  2.  Select "Deductions & Credits"
  3.  Select "Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)" and click start

Once you update all of your information, TurboTax will determine which credit or deduction is the most advantageous for you.

Thanks ... turns out I needed to delete the student and then re-enter from scratch in order to correct this number
