Question

I'm trying to enter tuition and enrollment fees for 2019 and the field is grey with $0. I can enter book expenses. Can I not claim tuition and fees?

Yes, you can enter those expenses. It is just a little trickier than before.

Start by going to the Education section of your return using these steps:

On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you can type in “education” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will give you an option to “Jump to education”
Click on the blue “Jump to education” link

Then, if you are not prompted to enter your 1098-T, go through the entire education expenses section of your return until you reach the screen titled “Your Education Expenses Summary”, then follow these steps:

Click Edit next to the student name.
On the screen titled “Here’s your Education Summary”, click Edit beside Tuition.
Enter the information from your Form 1098-T.

I have tried that numerous times and it does not let me enter the tuition amount. It says that I have already entered it. I cannot find where to update that number. I even got so frustrated that I started a brand new return and it still came up with a 0 for tuition and said that I already entered it. HOW can I update this number?

If you've already started to post some of your expenses you will have to continue through the questions. You will come to a point where you can add a student. You can Edit, Delete or add your tuition information here.
