I'm a grad student and get free tuition as a school employee. I don't have a 1098T; I do have to pay school fees. Can I report my school fees if I don't have a 1098T?

Yes, you can.

To enter the expenses, simply proceed with the education section of TurboTax as normal.  

The easiest way to get to this section in TurboTax is to use the search feature.  

• Log into your account and click Take Me to My Return (you must click this before performing the search below)
• Click the search icon (magnifying glass in top right-hand corner)
• Search for "1098T" and click the "jump to 1098T" link that appears
• This will bring you to the Education Expenses section where you can add a student and related Form 1098-T information 

When you come to the screen asking if you received a Form 1098-T, simply answer “no” to that question and proceed with the rest of the interview.  You will be able to enter the amount of tuition and fees paid to the school.
