Mandatory fees are usually included, by the college,  in box 1 of the 1098-T, along with tuition.  Any additional fees can be added at the  books and other course materials entry screen.

Did you receive a Form 1098-T from your school?  If so, enter it in the Education section under Deductions (Expenses and Scholarships 1098-T).   Enter your education expenses to see if you qualify for any Education Credits.

 

If not working on a Bachelor's degree, check Yes to Certificate or Credential program and Indicate you 'had expenses other than tuition.'  Continue, and indicate that you 'qualify for an exception' if you don't have a 1098-T.  Enter your school info, and what you paid for tuition and expenses.  Save your receipts with your tax file. 

 

If you do have 1098-T, enter the info from your form and Continue. Any required fees not included in Tuition can be entered under 'Required Books and Materials from the School'. Check with your school if you're not sure what fees have been included.
