Student loans

Here's how to enter your student loan interest. Follow these instructions whether or not you received a 1098-E from your lender:

1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax if you don't already have it open.
2. Search for 1098-E (upper- or lower-case, with or without the dash).
3. Select the Jump to link in the search results.
4. Answer Yes to the question Did you pay any student loans?
   • If you land on the Here's your 1098-E info (or Here's what you paid in student loan interest)screen, you can either edit an existing payment or add a new one.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Note: If your return has already been accepted by the IRS, then you will need to amend your return to claim your student loan interest. You must wait to do so until the original return has been processed and you have your refund (if applicable).
