Education

This is directly from the TurboTax help topic on 1098-T, Italics & Underline, mine.

 

To enter Form 1098-T:

  1. Open or continue your return, if you're not already in it.
  2. Search for 1098T and select the Jump to link at the top of the search results.
  3. Select Yes on the Do you want to enter your higher education expenses? screen.   This does not come up!  It goes to this:  Now Let's Gather Molly's Additional Education Expenses
  4. On the Your Education Expenses Summary screen, select Add A Student.
  5. Select the name of your student (this could be you, your spouse, or a dependent) and Continue.
  6. Answer some questions about the student and then you'll reach the Did [student] get a 1098-T from [school] for 2019? screen. Select Yes and Continue.

After answering "Did she pay for books & materials to attend school?" with "Yes" and "Did you take tax-free distributions from a 529 to pay student loans?" with "No", it goes to a Scholarships & Financial Aid page. I answered "Yes" and then put in the 1098-T amount. Then I put in prior year adjustments (from 1098-T form). After all of that, it says that this is income.... because THERE IS NO PLACE TO ENTER HER TUITION!!!!!!!   

 

Where do I put in the actual tuition and expenses????
