I'm trying to enter tuition and enrollment fees for 2019 and the field is grey with $0. I can enter book expenses. Can I not claim tuition and fees?

Yes, you can enter those expenses.  It is just a little trickier than before.  

Start by going to the Education section of your return using these steps:  

• On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
• This opens a box where you can type in “education” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
• The search results will give you an option to “Jump to education”
• Click on the blue “Jump to education” link

Then, if you are not prompted to enter your 1098-T, go through the entire education expenses section of your return until you reach the screen titled “Your Education Expenses Summary”, then follow these steps:

• Click Edit next to the student name.
• On the screen titled “Here’s your Education Summary”, click Edit beside Tuition.
• Enter the information from your Form 1098-T.

I have tried that numerous times and it does not let me enter the tuition amount.  It says that I have already entered it.  I cannot find where to update that number.  I even got so frustrated that I started a brand new return and it still came up with a 0 for tuition and said that I already entered it.  HOW can I update this number?

I'm having the same issue.  In the "jump to education" search box this information was provided:

Probably because the tuition and tax extender was just passed by Congress at the end of 2019 and the IRS has not yet released the revised forms to claim it yet, probably mid February or March

Here's how to edit the 1098-T in TurboTax:

• From Deductions & Credits
• Expenses and Scholarships (form 1098-T) hit Update
• From the page that says Now Let's Gather The Additional Education Expenses
• Hit Continue. You will need to continue through several screens until you get to the screen that says Your Education Expenses Summary click Edit
• At Here's Your Education Summary you can Edit, Delete or Add New School

in the upper left select view then forms then select the link with your school and in the lower right of the form enter tuition

I just used the forms entry to enter the data.

If you've already started to post some of your expenses you will have to continue through the questions.  You will come to a point where you can add a student.  You can Edit, Delete or add your tuition information here.
