Education
Try this and see if this helps. I understand some steps may be repetitive but it should fix whatever is going on and let you continue with your return.
- Go to the input section for the 1098-T.
- You will probably skip to the section titled books and supplies. Just continue as you probably will not be able to enter any information here. Just continue through the screen.
- Do Not enter any scholarship amounts when it asks if the scholarship is listed in Box 5 of the 1098-T. We want to avoid potentially doubling up any input already made. Hit continue instead.
- Continue through all the screens.
- You may get a message which says you can't maximize because there are no expenses. Just select continue until it takes you back to the Wages & Income screen.
- Now, Go back into the "Education Credit" section.
- Select "Edit" next to the student.
- It will ask you if you had an education credit and show you the summary.
- Select "Edit" to the right of Tuition.
- It will ask you if you received a 1098-T. Select Yes and continue.
- The next page should show you your input on the 1098-T.
- Continue through the screens
This should eventually take you to the screen showing which deduction you can take.
After you pass this screen, run a review. The issue should resolve itself allowing you to continue with your return.
