Education

No, you can't upload supporting documentation into TurboTax for tuition paid.  If you don't receive a 1098-T, have you entered the OPE ID number you have for the school?  The IRS wants to insure that the school is accredited by requiring that info when efiling.  However, you can mail your return without it. 

 

In the Education section, at the Education Summary page, EDIT your Student and ensure the questions following are answered correctly.  Continue, and EDIT your school and indicate that 'qualifies for an exception' is indicated, as reason for 'no 1098-T', then enter the ID number you have. 

 

If using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies and step through the interview again.

 

Here's more info on the Lifetime Learning Credit and a US Dept. of Education link where you can enter the OPE ID for more info.
