I am at the education deductions section; there is a question that asks me to enter in the amount of interest paid on my loan(s). On my 1098T from in box 1 there aren't any payments received for qualified tuition and related expenses related. However, I have made student loan payments throughout 2017 with NAVIENT. Will the payments I have made to NAVIENT (the lending company) qualify me for tax credits?

Interest loan payments are on tax form 1098-E, not 1098-T. You will need to contact Navient to inquire on the status of Form 1098-E for interest deduction.

Here is how to enter information from Form 1098-T for Tuition and Fees Deduction:

To Enter your Education Expenses for form 1098-T:
1. Select "Federal Taxes" at the top of the page
2. Select the "Deductions & Credits" sub-tab
3. Scroll down to "Education Expenses" and select "Show More"
4. Select "Start" next to "Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)"
