I take online classes for school

I am strictly doing online full time school and had to buy a new computer as I was told the one I had was not compatible. I have gone through all the school expense sections and nowhere does it list additional expenses not paid to the school. How can I find that area to put in books bought online and my computer.

At the screen "Did (student's name) have any of these common situations in 2025", check the box "had education expenses other than tuition".      

    That will get you a screen, later, "Time to enter (student's name) educational expenses". Enter those expenses at "Optional books and materials from the school".
