Working currently on deductions.  I have nothing popping up that allows me to enter the information from the 1098-T directly.  However, there is an area under deductions that states it has already been asked.  NO, it does and has not!!! What am I missing?

    To enter your form 1098-T in TurboTax, follow these steps:

    1. Open your tax return
    2. Click on Federal in the left panel.
    3. Click on Deductions & Credits at the top
    4. Scroll down to the Education section. Click Show more 
    5. Select Start next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
    6. On the next page, click on Add a Student. Or if the student has already been added, click on Edit next to the name of the student. After a few screens, answer Yes on the page Did [student] get a 1098-T for the year 2019?

    That would be great, but this is not my first time using TurboTax.  Additionally, this is not the students first year.  Normally it has asked for the updated information, it is not asking that this time.  It is stating that "Tuition and enrollment fees" are "$0".  However, it also is in blue, so I click on it, and it states this information has been entered else where (not true, never prompted for it).

     

    What else?

    I found it!  Truly buried within the information this year.

     

    Thanks for all your help!
