I have a letter about student loan interest instead of a 1098-E, but Turbo Tax doesn't recognize it.

How can I type in student loan interest?

To enter your Student Loan interest select the following:

  • Deductions and Credits
  • Show more next to Education
  • Student Loan Interest Paid (Form 1098-E)
  • Then enter your student loan interest paid

Student loan interest will lower your taxable income and is a deduction you can take even when you choose to take the standard deduction.
