I cannot figure out how to manually enter an amount from my statement like it says in the help link.

A 1098E shows interest paid for a student loan. Did you make payments for a student loan in 2024? Can you go to the lender's web site to get the statement or the 1098E?

Enter it as if you got a 1098-E. You don't need the actual form. All you have to enter is the lender's name and the amount of interest. (And the lender's name doesn't really matter. It doesn't go on your tax return. Only the amount actually appears on your tax return.)
