Question

American Opportunity Credit is showing as Qualify = No with reason of EIN not entered. But I did enter the number from the 1098-T. Not sure why it is saying that

Recheck your entries to make sure you have the school's EIN entered.

 

To file your 1098-T please follow the steps below:

  1. Open (continue) your return, if you're not already in it.
  2. In TurboTax, search for 1098T .
  3. Click Jump to 1098T in the search results.
  4. Answer any education questions that pop up (enrollment status, name of school, and so forth).
  • If you land on the Education Expenses Summary screen, click Edit next to the student in question, then edit the Tuition item.

I follow the steps you indicated and it shows the EIN. However, it still says I do not qualify for the credit because I have not entered the EIN.

Please complete the ENTIRE education interview until you come to "Maximize My Tax Break" .

Start wherever the program starts you and go through the questions to the end. 

 

If you still get an error, please delete that 1098-T and re-enter it.
