Please note, due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) that Congress signed into law on December 22, 2017, there are no longer any "short" forms. Starting in 2018, everyone uses the same Form 1040.
To enter your Form 1098-T in TurboTax Online for the current tax year (2019), please follow these steps:
- Login to your TurboTax Online account
- Search for 1098T and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results.
- Answer any education questions that pop up (enrollment status, name of school, and so forth).
- If you land on the Education Expenses Summary screen, select Edit next to the student in question, then edit the tuition item
- At the "Did you or your dependent(s) get a 1098-T?" screen, answer "Yes" and select "Continue"
- After you enter your 1098-T, TurboTax will ask about other education expenses you may have incurred (books, supplies, equipment) as well as your financial aid (if applicable).
If you need to add a 1098-T to a previous tax year that you have already filed, you will need to Amend that return. Please follow these instructions to Amend a previous year's return:
