My school only supplied a 1098-T form- there is no 1095-E as being asked for on my tax return.

The 1095-E has nothing to do with education. That form deals with employer provided health insurance coverage. Did you maybe mean 1098-E? Please check that and careful with the fumble fingers if that was "in fact" a typo. 🙂

yes, I meant 1098-E, sorry about the type o

If the program is asking you for 1098-E information, then it's because you told the program you made student loan payments. You need to start over in the Education section and work it through again. Read each screen carefully and in it's entirety and you'll find the screen or screens where you made the inadvertent wrong selection. Once you correct it, that should take care of it.

Form 1098-E is for student loan interest. You may not have any, or you may not have gotten the form. If you do have it, see below for how you enter it. Student loan interest is interest you paid during the year on a qualified student loan. It includes both required and voluntarily pre-paid interest payments. You may deduct the lesser of $2,500 or the amount of interest you actually paid during the year. The deduction is gradually reduced and eventually eliminated by phaseout when your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) amount reaches the annual limit for your filing status.

Follow these directions to enter your student loan interest even if you didn't get a 1098-E from your lender:

1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax if you don't already have it open.
2. In the search box, search for "1098-E" (upper- or lower-case, with or without the dash) and then select the "Jump to" link in the search results.
3. Answer Yes to the question Did you make any student loan payments?

• If you land on the Here's what you paid screen, you can either edit an existing payment or add a new one.

1. Follow the onscreen instructions.
