Question

Can you fix? Unable to edit the Education Expenses Summary so it recognizes dependent child's name on form 1098-T. Only recognizes my (parent) name.

Same problem with 2020 Turbotax. Fix then won't work now. Can't even Add Student and delete myself (parent). Ouch!

If you enter the wrong student, it can't be edited.  You'll have to delete all the info and start over. Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary".  Click delete next to the student's name.  You'll then get the "Your Education Expenses Summary" screen again.  Click the "Add a student" button.

Your child must have been previously entered as your dependent, in the personal info section.
