Education

Before 2018 most of the Form 1098-T received from the educational institutions entered the Tuition in box 2 (Amounts billed for qualified tuition and related expenses). It was not until 2018 that they were forced to only enter the amount paid in box 1.

 

The TurboTax question wording has not been updated to reflect this change. 

 

The question should ask, "Did you receive a 1098-T from this school in 2018 with box 1 and box 7 checked?".

 

By answering "YES" you entered the correct answer.
