So I have tried to restart my tax forms twice to no avail. After I add myself as a student it asks if I have any higher education expenses in 2019. I put yes. Then it asks me to tell about education plans the answer is no to both being a beneficiary of savings account and no to receiving a form 1099-Q. Then it goes to (Now let's gather your additional education expenses and it leads me straight to books and materials and tuition and enrollment fees say $0 but it never even gave me an option to input a 1098T. I have used Turbo Tax for years and can't figure what else to do. Thanks!

Click the "Jump to 1098-T" link
I've had the same issue.

Please help
To enter your Form 1098-T information (even when TurboTax thinks it has already been entered and is showing $0), go through the entire education expenses section of your return until you reach the screen titled “Your Education Expenses Summary”, then follow these steps:
If you need help to get back to the Education section of your return, use these steps:
I am having the exact same problem. When I search "Education" there is not a "Jump to" option. I'm using TurboTax Deluxe on a Mac.

To enter, edit or delete Education Expenses -
Or enter education expenses in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to education expenses
I found it. When it asks if "Joe" was enrolled at "xyzzy University" click yes, and edit. This brings up the 1098T screen. Very cryptic and you do not get pointed here in the help sections.
Exact same problem.
To INTUIT staff
1) fix the bug
2) please post explicit instructions
Thanks so much for this. Wow, that is a huge bug. I have been trying to find where to put the 1098-T in for over 40 minutes!
Thank you so much. We have been struggling with this since yesterday. Your answer helped us spot on.

@MaconTaxes Thank you, spot on #turbotax fix this!! so frustrating!
This is absurd-everything that TurboTax is posting is so confusing obviously they don’t have a good product for 1098 t for inputting taxable scholarship information and I’ve used TurboTax for years and this is horrible! The directions make no sense trying to trick the system because it’s not set up to work the way it supposed to is bogus...I read to stay away from TurboTax because he can’t handle 1098t or 8615 I should’ve listened
