Question

How do I add a student for a 1098t when they are not showing as an option but are showing as my dependent?

I can only enter the 1098T for myself but I was not the college student.  When I try to add a student, I am not given a choice of selecting my dependent.

Go back to the personal info section and be sure they are your dependent.   If this is a divorced parent situation, you can not claim the education credit for your child if he is a non-dependent- EIC only

 

  If you entered the wrong student, 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.
