A 1098E is for student loan interest and is found in the Education section of Deductions and Credits. You can enter this by using the search (upper right corner of your TurboTax screen) - search for 1098E (make sure enter the E because there is another form for mortgage interest that is a 1098) and click jump to 1098E. This will bring you to the right section.
