You must indicate on your return who the qualified education expenses were for. The individual must be listed as either a spouse or dependent on your return in order to claim qualified education expenses.
To enter qualified education expenses in TurboTax Online:
Under Federal, click on Deductions & Credits
Under Education, click on Start/Revisit next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
Answer YES to the question Do you want to enter your higher education expenses?
Add a Student. You will choose an individual on your return from the dropdown menu on the next screen.
Continue answering the questions through the remaining screens and enter the school information and dollar amounts paid

Thanks!
So seeing as how I'm not married and don't have kids, I should leave this all blank then ?
(assuming this does not refer to me since I am in college but also working - age: 30)
