Here's how to enter your 1098-T in TurboTax Online:

  • Open or continue your return.

  • Navigate to Form 1098-T:

    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to 1098-T.

    • TurboTax Desktop: Select Search Topics. Search for and select Form 1098-T.

First, fix your reject. When you're done:

  • Open or continue your return.

  • Navigate to Form 1098-T:

    • TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to 1098-T.

    • TurboTax Desktop: Select Search Topics. Search for and select Form 1098-T.

Your return has been accepted, so you'll need to amend if you want to enter your 1098-T info.

To amend:

  • Go to Your tax returns & documents, select 2025, and then Amend (change) return.

  • Select Amend using TurboTax Online.

  • Follow the screens to enter your 1098-T and file your amended return.

You don't need to amend. You can just add your 1098-T and reprint.

  • Go to Your tax returns & documents.

  • Select 2025 and then select Add a state (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you back into your return).

  • Select Search and enter Form 1098-T.

  • Select Jump to form 1098-t.

  • Make your changes and reprint.

We can't take you to the 1098-T section right now, because your return is pending.

Once the IRS has processed your return, you can sign back in to enter your 1098-T.

Here's how to enter your 1098-T in TurboTax Desktop:

  • Open or continue your return.

  • Select Federal and then Deductions & Credits.

  • Select I'll choose what I work on.

  • Under Education, select Start or Update next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T).

  • Follow the screens to enter your info.

Some important tips about entering this form:

  • Enter your 1098-T exactly as is, even if the amounts are wrong (this is common). You'll get a chance to correct this info and enter additional expenses later on.

  • Leave blank boxes blank. Don't enter 0 for any blank boxes on the form, as this generates errors.

  • Parents: If the student listed on the 1098-T is your dependent, enter the 1098-T on your return, even if your dependent paid the tuition.

  • Students: If you're not being claimed as a dependent, enter the 1098-T on your return regardless of who paid the tuition, unless it was your employer. In that case, just keep the 1098-T with your tax records.
