1098T

Turbo Tax deluxe will not let me add my tuition expenses. Very frustrating. It tells me "You entered this number in earlier" but still shows "0". Any help is greatly appreciated.

I’ve entered 1099-Q’s but Turbo Tax won’t let me enter tuition and fees and other expenses from 1098-T because it says our income is too high. It’s only allowing me to enter textbooks!

Please help.

Thanks!

If the form 1099-Q is for your child's education, you should enter that on their tax return if you don't qualify for an education credit. They can use the education expenses to reduce the income earned on the education savings account.
