i found the solution
go to Forms selection
For my issue - i found multiple worksheets and multiple 1098-T forms opened for the "student/child" that I am trying to enter data. (I have used TT for the past 10 years and never had this happen)
Close (ie Delete) the extra forms and the issue finally clears up.
While you are reviewing the form you are keeping - answer the questions that needs to be answered.
I discussed this with TT last evening and hopefully they are putting in a fix
