Education
Instead of uploading the form, enter it manually. The "Household too large" error happens when the import tool reaches its limit on how many dependents or forms it can connect to one tax file at once. It also doesn’t identify which household member the 1098-T belongs to.
A 1098-T needs to be tied to a specific person on your tax return—it can’t be left unassigned. If you’re claiming your child as a dependent, you’re the only one who can take the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) or Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC) for their education expenses.
If the names or Social Security numbers don't match, or if the dependent isn't marked as a student, the 1098-T import won't work. If you have more than one student at the same college, separate 1098-T's would be required for each student.
