They really do not make it easy, but if you follow the prompts you can do it.

There's a glitch in TurboTax, but they are aware of it.

In the mean time, here's the work around:

Go through the entire education interview until you reach a scree titled "Your Education Expenses Summary".  Click edit next to the student's name. That should take you to a screen “Here’s your Education Summary”. Click edit next to the section you want to change; tuition, in your case.

TT claims a software update on 1/24/20 may have corrected this problem. It now works on my download Deluxe version.

Thank you SO MUCH, Hal_AI. You're the first one to actually help me after an hour of searching. Even after the update, it's still busted in the downloadable version. 

 

See, this is why the HAL 9000 is better than humans.

Susan,  as an Intuit employee I would like to thank you for your advice to remedy this.   100% spot on.   Looking back,   the issue I had may have been due to TT knowing that I could not use the entered 1098-T info based on income,  but it really did present as a bug. Happy to elaborate more if needed.  Thanks again! Jeannie
