In the Education section, at the Education Expenses Summary page (screenshot),

 EDIT the Student, then EDIT the School (screenshot) to add your 1098-T for Tuition (or qualify for exception if you did not receive one).

I can't get to the pages you are showing. When I click on the EDIT/ADD button for Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T), it takes me directly to the page "Now Let's Gather Additional Expenses...books, supplies, etc. It is skipping everything you show.

The first screen I showed is at the very end of the Education Section.

I'm having the same issue...do we not receive credit for tuition anymore??  Why did I receive 1098-T if I can not input it?

To enter your Form 1098-T information, go 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 (without entering any information yet) 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.
