Deductions & credits
You can generate Form 8863 by going through the Education section in the Deductions and Credits Section. There is not a separate entry spot for each of the education credits, instead, you enter all of your expenses in the 1098-T section and TurboTax will calculate your credit options for you. Use the 1098-T section even if you don't have a 1098-T, all education expenses go there anyway.
Here's how to get to the Education section:
- Open (continue) your return, if you don't already have it open.
- Search for 1098t and select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
- On the ''Do you want to enter your higher education expenses?'' screen, answer Yes
You can also click on Start next to Education Expenses/1098-T in the Education section within the Deductions and Credits (Federal) area. You need to add yourself as a student and then proceed to add the school. Once you continue through you will be able to add other expenses.
