Can't enter 1098-T, why is this section missing?

I entered this last year and now there's not even an option to enter the information, what happened? I may use a different tax preparing software..

I am having the same issue using TurboTax Deluxe. It totally skips over the screen where you need to enter in the 1098-T information and takes me to the books, materials, and other expenses. I can not go back or delete the information I've already entered. It displays "$0" for tuition and notes that I already enter this amount. I even deleted my return and started over in a new one but that did not solve the issue. Completely frustrating. Although I do not have an answer for the issue.....you are not alone.

Start by going to the Education section of your return using these steps:

On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you can type in “education” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will give you an option to “Jump to education”
Click on the blue “Jump to education” link

Then, if you are not prompted to enter your 1098-T, go through the entire education expenses section (without entering any information yet) of your return until you reach the screen titled “Your Education Expenses Summary”, then follow these steps:

Click Edit next to the student name.
On the screen titled “Here’s your Education Summary”, click Edit beside Tuition.
Enter the information from your Form 1098-T.

Is there a software fix for this? Here we are May 17 and I just tried and failed to find the 1098-t form. I can’t imagine there isn’t a patch for this by now.

This section can be confusing.

If you already started posting your information you see that the tuition may not have been posted.
Continue through the questions until you come to Your Education Expense Summary
[EDIT] your name or add a student
You will be able to add your 1098-T information here.

Delete the dependent info in the deduction then reenter. It will bring 1098-T form to enter.
