1098-e

I can’t figure out how to navigate to the part where it asks me to enter in info for the 1098e. The questions seem to be geared towards as if I was in school now but it was 11+ years ago. Just trying to enter in the student loan interest info.

Student Loan Interest is entered in the Deductions and Credits Section of TurboTax.

Go to the 1098-E screen under Deductions & credits in the Federal section
Answer Yes to the question Did you get a 1098-E for student loan interest?
If you land on the Here's your 1098-E info (or Here's what you paid in student loan interest)screen, you can either edit an existing payment or add a new one.
Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your 1098-E information.

Refer to the TurboTax article Where do I enter student loan interest (Form 1098-E)? for instructions.
