1098-T

mvillers — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 21:28:16 GMT

When entering Deductions under Federal Tax, under Education, when TurboTax asks on the third tab if I "Paid for Books and Materials" Tuition is listed as $0. And TurboTax states "entered earlier." I never entered this, nor was asked to. And I have searched and cannot find anywhere it asks me to enter my daughter's tuition. I need to get the correct amount entered.

Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary". Click edit next to the student's name. That should take you to a screen “Here’s your Education Summary”. Click edit next to the section you want to change; tuition, in your case (click edit next to the school name).

At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "1098t" and Enter
