Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Thank you very much for your reply. You missed the the issue unfortunately where we cannot enter OTHER qualified education expenses - and please hear me again.
We are aware of your suggestion, where we can enter two elements of the education expenses: The required books & materials from the school, and the optional books & materials from the school. This is what it looks like now in TT 2025, and we are in agreement up to here:
But here is the issue: The OTHER qualified expenses such as materials NOT required to be purchased from the school, Room & board, Computer & software, Special needs expenses etc are missing unfortunately! TT redesigned this section and removed those options. And the only way to enter them is via the forms. Which is what so many new posts in the past few days are complaining about. Based on what I have read so far even the non-employee experts/champs agree on the shortcoming of this omission. This is the image of what was in last year's TT 2024 and is now missing in TT2025 (shown in the red outline):
In summary, currently as is in the redesigned TT 2025, the user has no way of entering OTHER qualified education expenses in the interview view - forced to enter the forms view. This is a major redesign flaw. I hope this clarifies it. Thank you
