Enter/Re-enter Tuition Payments

[tdirnberger]

I'm entering 2019 Education Expenses for a dependent on the "Did xx pay for books or materials to attend school?" page but the Tuition line shows $0 and if I click on the hyperlink for help, it tells me "you entered this number in earlier". How do I go back to edit and enter the correct Tuition payment?

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 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.
