They're entered in the same place as your 1098 Tuition form.
Type 1098-T in the search bar and select the Jump to 1098-T.
If you've already entered your 1098-T form, on the Your Education Expenses Summary screen, Edit the student.
On the Here's Your Education Summary screen, scroll down to Other Education Expenses (for all schools) and edit.
You'll be able to enter your books, laptop, printer and other school supplies on the Did XXX pay for Books or Materials to attend school? screen.
Some important tips about entering this form:
Parents: If the student listed on the 1098-T is your dependent, enter the 1098-T on your return – even if your dependent paid the tuition.
Students: If you're not being claimed as a dependent, you can enter the 1098-T on your return regardless of who paid the tuition unless it was your employer. In that case, just keep the 1098-T with your tax records.
Enter your 1098-T exactly as is even if the amounts are wrong (this is common). You'll get a chance to correct this info and enter additional expenses later in the Education interview.
Leave blank boxes blank. Don't enter 0 for any blank boxes on the form, as this generates errors.
