is secondary education meaning college?

We're trying to complete the school expenses and it comes up with high school and secondary school expenses.   Am I to assume, as we do not see any college expense section in TT that secondary school = college?

No.  Secondary does not mean College.  To enter the college expenses like the Form 1098-T in TurboTax online, here are the steps:

 

  • Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "1098t" and Enter
  • Select Jump to 1098t
  • On the screen, Now Let's gather XYZ's Additional Education Expenses
  • Follow prompts
  • Next screen, Your Education Expenses Summary, select Edit
  • Next screen Here's Your Education Summary, under Tuition, select Edit to enter tuition information
  • See the images below.
