If you have not filed, you can simply return to the program to edit.  Here are the steps:

 

In TurboTax online,

 

  • Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "1098t" and Enter
  • Select Jump to 1098t
  • On the screen, Now Let's gather XYZ's Additional Education Expenses
  • Follow prompts
  • Next screen, Your Education Expenses Summary, select Edit
  • Next screen Here's Your Education Summary, under Tuition, select Edit to proceed

 

If you have already filed, you might not be able to go back to add or edit.  You can return to the program to make corrections without amending only if your return is being rejected. If your return is accepted, to edit your information, you will have to amend it. You cannot just go back to add.

 

If your return got rejected for any reason, you can return to the program to edit information along with other changes and re-submit it. For instructions, click here Fix a reject 2019.  You do not need to file an amendment 1040-X.

 

If your return has been accepted, you will have to amend by filing a Form 1040-X.  Click here for instructions Amend 2019.   Please note that the 2019 Form 1040-X is not available until 2/26/2020.  Please come back later.  Also, be aware that you should not try to amend your return until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared.  If by editing the information does not change the refund or amount you owe, you do not need to submit the amendment.

Hi everyone,

 

It amazes me that TurboTax continues to provide answers to all of the threads regarding 1098T issues this year with box answers...and none of them have worked. FINALLY, I have found a solution to all of most errors that everyone has been posting! If you UPLOAD an image of you 1098-T, the software functions as it should. I have been able to get past all of the issues from $0 entries to Parent Name as dependent.

 

If you can try this, I encourage you to go this route. It is the only solution I have found. Man up TurboTax! Dig deeper and solve your software glitch or provide better directions.

 

Luck everyone!
