To explain further using the actual numbers:
Secondary school expense: (does not have 1098-T)
Tuition $5033
Required enrollment fees $1939
Books $113
Academic Tutoring $135
College #1: Tuition $200 (has 1098-T)
College #2: Tuition $270 (has 1098-T)
In the Deductions & Credits section after entering the 1098-T's a display with the header:
Did "Student" Pay Books or Materials to Attend School?
Under the section Enter "Student's" Education Expenses: (the following below is shown)
Tuition and enrollment fees: $5503 < this value is not changeable
Books and materials not required to be purchased from the school: $113.
Academic Tutoring (For elementary and secondary schools only): $185
The Tuition and enrollment fees of $5503 should have been $7442. The $5503 value does not include the secondary enrollment fees of $1939. Turbotax is not handling this correctly. The only way I have found to get the $1939 to be included is to add the secondary tuition and the secondary required enrollment fees together and enter it into the secondary tuition field. I don't believe that this is the way to handle the required enrollment fees; therefore, I believe this as a bug in Turbotax.
