I'm doing my daughters taxes and she has a 1098-T but a link to enter it isn't showing up after entering all deductions and credits.

To report the 1098-T form:

Log in to your account.
Go to Federal Taxes.
Go to Deductions and Credits.
Scroll down to Education and click show more.
Scroll down to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T).

If you are claiming your daughter as a dependent, you should report the 1098-T form on your return and you can claim all educational tax credits that qualify.

I have a similar question. I initially put in a number for my Daughters 1098-T, but now I have to update it. Turbo Tax won't let me update it, and I haven't finished or filed yet.

How can I change this amount? Everything else in the program is still changeable?

Go through the entire education interview until you reach a scree 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; tuition, in your case.

Details:

To enter your Form 1098-T information (even when TurboTax thinks it has already been entered and is showing $0), 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.

To go directly to the Education section of your return, use 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
