TT Deluxe Desktop Windows - This post is about entering education expenses.
In the prior years, TurboTax allowed us to enter "Other Education Expenses" (in the student's tax return). See attached screenshot, specifically the red box.
In the current 2025 product, there is nowhere in the step-by-step interview section to enter other qualified education expenses. They changed something that worked and was not broken. Now the only way I know is to go to the forms view and enter it in "Student Info Wk" form.
Q1: Is there a trick to do this in the step-by-step interview besides going into the forms view?
Even then, the result is a hit & miss where it erases the expense data sporadically. I discovered that while in the "Student Info Wk" form, you have to click on the gray QuickZoom box to go to the "People Wks" form and reenter the additional expenses there. (why? the two forms look almost identical!)
Q2: Does anyone know if the TT team is aware of this and has any plans to fix it? That would be good to know to set our expectation to wait to move forward.
(also FYI, in the 1099-Q if anyone selects box 4b for "QTP to Roth IRA", the forms produce an error. Another bug but that is a different topic)
Here is the screenshot of the 2024 TT that worked great, where the red box area is now missing from 2025 TT.
EDITED 2/2/26: Updated the image to cover another personal information I had missed before.
