The "Did [student] get a 1098-T from [school] for 2019? screen" is not coming up for me, so I am not able to enter my 1098T information. Here is the process I followed:
In the"Deductions and Credits" section I scroll down and click on "Visit All" next to "Scholarships, student loans, tuition".
I say "yes" to "Did you have any higher education expenses in 2019?"
It does not take me to the screen to enter my 1098T information.
Instead it takes me to "Tell us about your education plans", where it asks if I received a 1099Q or have a Coverdell ESA.
I answer "no" to the ESA and "yes" to the 1099Q.
Since I used TurboTax last year, it pulls in the Payer names from last year's 1099Q's.
I click "edit" on one.
I click on that it is for one of these dependents, and "continue".
I select my student's name, and "continue".
Then it tells me "You don't need to enter this 1099-Q info". I click on "skip".
Now the name of the Payer has disappeared from the listing of 1999Q's that I still need to enter (bad thing). I click on "continue".
It says "Now let's gather [student's] additional education expenses". I click on "continue".
It asks "Did [student] pay for books or materials to attend school?"
Below that there is a link for "Tuition and enrollment fees", which currently shows $0 of course (because I have not entered my 1098T information).
If I click on that link it explains the meaning of the field and says "Note: you entered this number in earlier"
... which of course I DID NOT because it never gave me a place to enter it !!!
How/where can I enter my 1099T information? What am I doing wrong? I don't see any steps that I skipped? Is this a bug in the TT Deluxe + state download version?
Thanks!
