Recheck your entries to make sure you have the school's EIN entered.

To file your 1098-T please follow the steps below:

Open (continue) your return, if you're not already in it.
In TurboTax, search for 1098T .
Click Jump to 1098T in the search results.
Answer any education questions that pop up (enrollment status, name of school, and so forth).

If you land on the Education Expenses Summary screen, click Edit next to the student in question, then edit the Tuition item.

I follow the steps you indicated and it shows the EIN. However, it still says I do not qualify for the credit because I have not entered the EIN.

Please complete the ENTIRE education interview until you come to "Maximize My Tax Break" .

Start wherever the program starts you and go through the questions to the end.

If you still get an error, please delete that 1098-T and re-enter it.
