You will have to delete and reenter the 1098-T making sure you select the student's name on the "Let's get your 1098-T Information" screen.

 

Please follow these steps:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1098T”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1098T”
  4. On the "Your Education Expenses Summary" screen click "delete" next to the your name
  5. Click "Add student"

If you enter the wrong student, you'll have to delete all the info and start over. Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary".  Click delete next to the student's name.  You'll then get the "Your Education Expenses Summary" screen again.  Click the "Add a student" button.

Your daughter must have been previously entered as your dependent, in the personal info section.
