1098-T and not able to add myself as a student

I received a 1098-T form for paying tuition for a class for myself at a college. When I try to enter the information, it says "You can't add any more students. You have no more eligible students in this return." How am I not eligible, if I am filing my own return and I am the student? Is there still a way to enter my 1098-T form? It will not provide me with an option of choosing myself as a student. I am using Turbo Tax Deluxe.

To clarify, Are you filing as a dependent? Does someone else (like your parents) claim you?

Did you answer any questions regarding being a student in the "Personal Info" or "Education" sections?

Were you able to enter the 1098-T?

I did go back and edit my personal information, so I am able to add myself as a student now. However, I am still experiencing an issue. It asks for all the information on my 1098-T form, but after I enter all that information, it does not save it. Once I try to go on to the next page, it will ask for all the same information all over again. I tried a few times, but it still keeps happening.
