The only way to get back to the Form 1098-T to edit the information is to delete the form and renter the information. To delete the form, you would:

Select Tax Tools in the Black bar on the left hand side of the screen.
Select Tools in the drop down menu.
On the Tools Center Menu Select Delete a form.
Locate the Form 1098-T and select Delete on the right side.
You will be asked to confirm you want to delete the form.

You would then

Enter 1098-T in the Search Magnifying Glass in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
Select Jump to 1098-t
Enter the information from the form again.
