Working on Deductions and Credits.. Education Expenses. The page says "Tuition and Enrollment Fees" are Zero. The link on "tuition and enrollment fees" says I entered them earlier. Where? I want to fix them, since they are NOT zero. Where do I go to fix them. (I don't remember entering them at all.)

Congress did not renew the "tuition and fees" deduction for 2018. That particular education deduction expired in 2017. So you don't get any deduction for tuition and fees paid out of pocket.

I am having the same issue. I entered this last year for my 2018 taxes. This year for my 2019 taxes, the tuition says $0 with no option to change.

Are there no credits or tax deductions for college tuition in CY 2019? Turbotax shows $0 for tuition and fees with no option to change it from $0. It also shows I received $0 for CY 2018 even though I'm sure I entered my tuition costs last year.

Since you are working in a Desktop program, switch to "Forms Mode" (top right corner) and look at the student and 1098-T worksheets.

To fix this, I had to go to the form itself, the Form 1098-T, in TurboTax. There you can enter 1 Payments for qualified tuition... and 5 scholarships or grants.

This is STILL a problem in TurboTax 2023 desktop edition!!! The work-around to use the Forms view to then enter the 1098-T directly solved the problem.
