If for some reason the amount show in box on your 2020 1098-T isn't showing all education expenses paid in 2020 then follow these steps to enter the correct amount:
- Login to your TurboTax Account

- Click on “Jump to 1098T”
- Click the link "This is not what I paid to this school" under box 1 on the 1098-T screen and enter the proper amount in the box on the right that will appear.
