Hi Hal_Al,   As outlined in my post on the other thread that I linked, this solution posed by yourself and others in the past (just don't report / include your 1099-Q and / or 1098-T information) doesn't resolve certain scenarios and is just a bad resolution.  I hope TurboTax isn't falling back on that as their official stance on it and is sticking to your earlier post which indicates they are aware of the problem and are looking to address it, hopefully quickly.  This is crazy, the ability to enter Room & Board not covered / included on a 1098-T as qualified education expense has been there in TurboTax in the past, and all the way up to last year.  It makes me less confident in the product when this type of stuff happens.    

Using TurboTax Home and Business, use these steps:     Go to the Business tab at the top of the screen. Then click Continue and select I'll choose what I work on. At the top of the screen you should see Business Income and Expenses.  Click Start or Update beside Profit or Loss from Business. On the next screen you may see a 'business' that has already been started for you since you entered the Form 1099-NEC in your personal income section.  If so, click Edit beside that business.  If not, this is where you start to add the information needed for your consulting business income and expenses. As you go through this section you should find Other Common Business Expenses and Vehicle Expenses where you can enter your business expenses.

That box may not matter that much. But it might be the "De/" that is confusing TT. Try just the number. I suspect that even if you left box 15 out it wouldn't matter. It certainly wouldn't matter for your federal taxes. It might matter for state taxes, but  probably only if you has state withholding and even then probably not. 

This is happening again as of Jan  31, 2026.   FAILED_VALIDATION: Error Code 54 This version of TurboTax is no longer current. You must ... blah blah Check for Updates and then you can e-file.    Can not
