When I get to the screen to enter the 1098 info, it says "You've done a great job of starting your taxes early, but the IRS is still working on finishing up the education expenses area (Form 8863) for 2019.  That means this area isn't quite ready yet." It also says that it will be ready January 8 which was a month ago.  I've updated my TT2019.  Any other thoughts?
