Education

If you paid your tuition or any approved education expense with student loans, the IRS considers this paid out of pocket, as you will repay the loan in the future.  You can file the 1098-T with your return.  If your amount was paid with financial aid that you are not paying back, you are not paying anything out of pocket and do not have to file the 1098-T with your return.  To file the 1098-T with your return in TurboTax, you will follow these steps:

 

  1. Click Deductions and Credits
  2. Scroll down to Education, click show more
  3. Click Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
  4. Answer interview questions
