When I uncheck that box and continue, then check the box and continue, it asks if I received a Form 1098-T in 2019, but the two questions are:

"Let us know if you received a Form 1098-T from XXXX in 2019." Yes/No

"Was there an amount in Box 2" Yes/No ("No" in this case)

Only if this question is answered "Yes", does it ask about box 7.

It never asks for the amount in Box 2, so I'm not sure how Box 2 (which is unlabeled on 1098T) affects taxes.

So, if you lie about "Box 2" (the value is never asked for), it will let you check Box 7.

Definitely a bug.
