You will still enter your student loan interest paid in the same section as if you did receive Form 1098-E. You will just be using the amount of interest paid found on your year-end statement instead of on Form 1098-E.
Use these steps to go to the right section of your return to enter your student loan interest:
- On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
- This opens a box where you can type in “student loan interest” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
- The search results will give you an option to “Jump to student loan interest”
- Click on the blue “Jump to student loan interest” link and enter your information
