How do I edit my 1098-T information?

My 1098-T shows that I received $6,150 in scholarships/grants for 2019. However, when I put that information into TurboTax it is computing that I received $12,300, which I did not. It wont let me fix it. How do I update my 1098-T information?

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; probably, Scholarships/Grants in your case.  Be sure you didn't enter the $6150 again there.   It only needs to be entered once (at the 1098-T screen).

 

To edit the 1098-T, click edit under Tuition/(School name) at the  “Here’s your Education Summary” screen.

 

Worst case:  At the "Your Education Expenses Summary".  Click Delete next to the student's name and start over.

I've clicked the update button several times, but it does not allow me to change my 1098-T information.
