    Here's how to edit the 1098-T in TurboTax:

    From Deductions & Credits

    Expenses and Scholarships (form 1098-T) hit Update

    From the page that says Now Let's Gather The Additional Education Expenses

    Hit Continue. You will need to continue through several screens until you get to the screen that says Your Education Expenses Summary click Edit

    At Here's Your Education Summary you can Edit, Delete or Add New School

    If I already sent my taxes off and I just recieved my 1098t from college. How do I add it on my approved taxes.

    If your return has been accepted by the IRS, then you will need to file an amended return in order to include the information on your Form 1098-T.  

     

    If your return is rejected for any reason, then you can include the 1098-T information before you resubmit it.

     

    Typically, including information about your education expenses is a good thing on your taxes because you may qualify for an education tax benefit.  So it is to your benefit to include the information.  Under certain circumstances, the information on the 1098-T in conjunction with your education expenses can lead to taxable income.  So you do need to include it on your return. 

     

    You should wait until your refund has been received before amending your return so that you know the original return has been fully processed.   Then, use the instructions in the following TurboTax article to amend your return:
