Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My understanding: You entered the Teacher expenses in the federal section, the entry is correct. Next, the state. It asks Eligible Educator, yes, continue, amount and then you are stuck. 

 

What to do:

  1. While on the screen where you are stuck, go into Forms mode. 
  2. You should be on the deductions statement. You may need to scroll down to the Qualified Education Expenses.
  3. Enter the educator expense there. It is not an override and will not cause a problem. It is a direct entry field.
  4. Your deductions should flow through correctly. 
  5. On the left side, in the list of forms, locate Form 760.
  6. Select the 760. This lets you see your return and moves you away from the stuck spot.
  7. Select Step by Step in the top right, where Forms was to get here
