To delete the school tuition amount in TurboTax Online, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Federal section.
2. Select Deductions & Credits.
3. Scroll to the Education subsection and find Tuition and Fees or the section where you entered the tuition amount.
4. Select Edit next to your tuition entry.
5. Delete the amount or select the option to Remove or Delete the tuition entry.

This will remove the tuition amount from your tax return.

Why do you want to delete the "tuition amount"?

 

One common reason, you don't qualify for any actual credit and don't want to pay for the TurboTax upgrade called for by entering the 1098-T.

 

If you don't qualify for the Lifetime Learning Credit,  or want to eliminate it, you'll have to delete the forms that are related to education credits.

 If you see form 8863 and form 1098-T, delete them. Click here for instructions

 

  Here's a post on the five main points on the  1098-T:
