If you are getting an error message when entering your 1098-T form and you copied and pasted some of the information, it's possible extra spaces or hidden formatting may be causing the problem. Make sure there are no extra spaces before or after the entries.    To fix this, you will need to delete the Form completely and enter it again, making sure the information is correct the first time. To delete the Form, when the program asks if you have it, you will have to answer Yes.  Then, click Delete when you see the Form that you have already entered. Press Add Another button, and re- enter your 1098-T Form.  To see more instructions, go through the link below:   Where do I enter Form 1098-T (Tuition Statement)?
