I have exactly the same question for 2024, but the solution suggested does not work.

After you enter your interest from Box 3 of the 1099-INT, you will be asked as few questions. First if any uncommon situations apply- read the question and answer according to your situation. Next, to Did you cash any Series EE or I saving bonds?, answer yes. After that, say yes to Did you use your U.S. savings bonds to pay for higher education expenses?
If you do not see these options, I would suggest restarting the program or updating your software. Manually Update TurboTax for Windows Software
Be advised, if you make a mistake the first time through, TurboTax may not give you all the same screens when yo try to review. You may have to delete the 1099-INT and re-enter it and start over.
Thanks. I deleted and added it back. I still don't see the following screens.
I have a Mac Software. I tried to update it manually with no success. I still do not see the screen above.
Savings bond interest MUST be entered in box 3 at the 1099-INT screen
Yes, only box 3 is filled. Yet I do not see the next screen. I think the mac software has a bug.
Have you marked the box "Yes, I cashed Series EE or I savings bonds"? This will need to be marked for the as yes for the higher education question to come up. See the screenshot below:
