    I'm not familiar with a screen where it asks if the  1098-T wks need to be reported, not reported, or no entry.

     

    In TurboTax (TT), enter at:

    Federal Taxes Tab (Personal for H&B version)

    Deductions & Credits

    -Scroll down to:

    --Education

      --Education Expenses and Scholarships (1098-T

     

    There's a new urban myth among college students that says they can get a $1000 from the government just for filing a tax form. For most of them, they simply aren't eligible. A full time unmarried student, under age 24, even if you don't qualify as a dependent, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans & grants. It is usually best if the parent claims that credit. 

    You cannot claim the (up to) $1000 refundable credit if you are, or can be, claimed as a dependent by someone else.

     

    Reference: Line 7 instructions for form 8863.
