Why would I receive a 1098-T if I have not been enrolled or working for a school in over 3years?

I have not received a 1098-T and am stuck until I enter in a Filer's Employer Id Number. Why would I get this?

In the subject of your post you imply that you received a 1098-T. Yet in the body of your post you state you do not have a 1098-T.  Which is it? If you did receive a 1098-T, what tax year is that 1098-T for?

If you have not been enrolled or worked for a school for over three years and did not receive a 1098-T, then there is nothing to report.  

You need to delete the 1098-T entry that is keeping you from filing your return.

Follow these steps in TurboTax:

• Federal
• Deductions and Credits
• Education
• Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
• Go through the screens until you find the 1098-T and then delete it.
