If you are unable to enter a 1098T, I have a couple of suggestions:

 

First, try doing a manual update on your software, if you have not already.  Here is a link to how to accomplish that:  Manual Update for Turbo Tax CD/Download Software

 

Second, If you are still unable to enter the 1098T, please try to go all the way through that section until you say you are finished, then try to edit to in order to add the 1098T.  Here are the steps:

 

 STEP 1.) It will skip to books and supplies. KEEP GOING. You can't jump to, you can't hit back KEEP GOING as though you have entered.
STEP 2.) Do NOT put in scholarship amounts when it asks if the scholarship is listed on Box 5 of the 1098-T because you are about to double up. KEEP Going. you are about to circle back.
STEP 3.) Go through all screens. If says can't maximize because no expenses do not fret, Go all the way until it circles back to the Wages and Income screen.
STEP 4.) Go back into Education credit and hit Edit on the student. Will ask if you had education credit.
STEP 5) Once you do you may see the Summary Page of the student. Hit edit on the top one that reads Tuition.
Step 6.) Will ask if you had a 1098-T you say yes, and you can add, enter, edit here.
