Yikes! She had already submitted her return, so trying to take care of amending it.
We can fix the 1098T boxes, and we thought we would have to use a negative number to zero out the amount she had listed in book expenses. However, when we get to the final review it doesn't like the negative number and shows us the Qualified Elementary and Secondary Tuition Smart Worksheet. Since most of her needed school supplies weren't text books, she had lumped them all under what shows up as line 5 on the worksheet 'Other course-related', but when dealing with amending the 1098T it only lets us update what corresponds to line 3 and 4 (hence entering negative numbers seemed to be the only way to zero out the overall number).
Is there a way to access the 'Other course-related' number on this worksheet to zero it out? Or are we going to have to work around this another way? (We even tried switching the answer to 'Did you pay for books or materials to attend school?' to No, and it still didn't zero out the numbers on the worksheet.
