    How do I add a 2nd child's 1098-T info?  Only 1 child is showing up under that section.

    Go back to the Personal Section of TurboTax and review the information for the second child.  In the Personal Section it asks if the child was a full-time student in 2019.  Mark the box as Yes.

     

    Now the child will show up where you enter the 1098-T information and you can add the 1098-T to your return.
