Hello Dawn,
Thank you for your detailed response. I really appreciate it.
I have a follow-up question from a legal and ethical standpoint: Since I did not actually receive a Form 1098-E, would it be considered misrepresentation or legally problematic to answer “Yes” to that question in TurboTax, even if the purpose is simply to enable manual entry of valid student loan interest from a foreign lender? I want to be sure that my tax return is both accurate and compliant with IRS requirements, and I’m unsure whether using this workaround crosses a line in terms of truthfulness on the return.
