My daughter is a sophomore at a 4 year college, but last summer she took a couple of classes at our local community college. The community college didn't send her a 1098-T for her tuition, fees and books. We paid for it all with a credit card. Can I include these expenses even though they aren't on a 1098? Is there a place in TT deluxe to enter tuition not on a 1098?

As long as this college is an eligible institution to participate in the Federal Aid program, then you can report her education expenses without filing information from Form 1098-T. Please follow the directions below to enter your dependent's educational expenses:

Log in and open your return
Type Form 1098-T into the search field
Click to add a student
On the next screen, select No to the question Did you receive a Form 1098-T for the year 2019
On the next screen, select I qualify for an exception
Enter the information for your dependent's educational expenses
