In order to be reimbursed for education expenses, I had to enter my PEL. I cannot submit my taxes due to an "error" in my PEL number. It was not used as an ID, it was used to get a deduction for expenses from the state of Illinois. Turbo tax does not let you e-file if you have errors in your return. When you enter the PEL it says the number will be 7-9 digits. When TurboTax does their final review, it says it must be 9 digits and it cannot be filed until I fix the number.
