I am trying to enter a 1098-T and it is not there.  There is not a "Jump to" selection.  When I go through the steps that I have always used there are steps messing. I have tried to walk through step by step from the information in the support section but it has options to do that are not on my version of Turbo Tax.  I am not new to Turbo Tax or to 1098-T 's . This is my 7th year of entering 1098-T's on Turbo Tax and I have never had a problem before now.  It says I entered zero  but it never gave me an option to enter my 1098-T.  It has skipped steps.  I have walked through it 5 times and it is always the same.  

It will not let me enter it manually either.  Can someone please help me?

    Try these instructions and make sure you are signed into your return with a full menu (My Info, Federal, State, and File options) on the left side of the screen.  The search feature will not work unless you are inside of your return.  If you are on the Tax Home page, you are not far enough into the program, you have to select Review or Continue where I left off.  

     

    You can edit your tuition amounts only from the Education Summary Page by editing the school information.  When you are signed in to your tax return, you can type 1098-t into the search bar at the top of the screen, hit enter, then click on the Jump to 1098-t link to get back to the education section in TurboTax.   

     

    You will be taken to the education section but the exact screen you will land on depends on where you left off.  Click through the screens until you get to the Expenses Summary, which will list all students on your return.  From here you can add another student if you need to.

     

    In order to change the tuition amounts, you will need to click on Edit, next to the name of the student on the screen titled Your Education Expenses Summary.   That will take you to a screen titled Here's Your Education Summary

     

    From this screen, you can edit the tuition amounts by clicking on Edit next to the name of the school or clicking on Add New School if your school is not listed yet.  

     

    Please note that the Education Summary and Education Expenses Summary are 2 different pages.
