I need to claim my student loan 1098E how do i do this

A 1098E is for student loan interest and is found in the Education section of Deductions and Credits.  You can enter this by using the search (upper right corner of your TurboTax screen) - search for 1098E (make sure enter the E because there is another form for mortgage interest that is a 1098) and click jump to 1098E.  This will bring you to the right section.

Or you can find the correct spot by using the step by step method below -

  • Log into your account and click Take Me to My Return
  • Click on the Federal Taxes tab
  • Then Deductions and Credits
  • Scroll down until you see Education (you may have to click Check for More Credits and Show All to get the full list to appear)
  • Click on the Student Loan Interest Paid (Form 1098E) section
  • Enter your interest paid
