Question

I am using TT 2020 and attempting to add a student to claim my daughters expenses, but it will not let me. It jumps to 1098-T for myself instead. Any advice?

I have attempted to add a student, delete the 1098-T it created for me (not the student), and following steps provided by the community. She is a dependent, but it will not let me add a student.

If you enter 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.

Your daughter must have been previously entered as your dependent, in the personal info section.
