Education Expenses Problem

Trying to file taxes, initial filing was rejected because I didn't know my daughter filed her own taxes and said she can't be claimed as a dependent by anyone else. I fixed it and deleted her, but it keeps telling me I have to link someone to a 1098-T, but I deleted any mention of education expenses for 2020. We filed a 1098T in 2019, but there is nothing for 2020 and it keeps telling me: "A Link to the taxpayer or Spouse Student Worksheet must be made if the student is the taxpayer or spouse, or link to a dependent below if one of them is the student."

    Try this: Go through the entire education interview until you reach a screen titled "Your Education Expenses Summary".  Click delete next to the student's name.
