After entering your 1098-T, you may be asked 'Did you receive any of the following tax free benefits last year?' Last year = current tax year.
TurboTax wants to know if the amount in Box 5 of form 1098-T included GI, Veterans', or employer assistance. If yes, enter how much.
The program is asking you about the Box 1 or 2 values for this current tax year.
If you are trying to file a prior year 1098-T, you have to file a return for the year indicated on your form.
