Using Easy forms, it didn't let me enter my wife's 1098-T form. It listed it as grayed out with a $0 as the amount entered, even though I didn't enter anything. A bug? I had to enter it manually using the forms. I am married, filing jointly, not claiming the student as a dependent.

The 1098-T is entered in the "Education" section of the TurboTax program. (Under Tax Breaks) 

You may also use the search option by typing "1098-T" into the search box and then clicking the "Jump to 1098-T" link. 

 

If you indicate that you are NOT claiming the student, you will NOT be eligible to claim the education expenses towards an education credit.
