So I have tried to restart my tax forms twice to no avail. After I add myself as a student it asks if I have any higher education expenses in 2019. I put yes. Then it asks me to tell about education plans the answer is no to both being a beneficiary of savings account and no to receiving a form 1099-Q. Then it goes to (Now let's gather your additional education expenses and it leads me straight to books and materials and tuition and enrollment fees say $0 but it never even gave me an option to input a 1098T. I have used Turbo Tax for years and can't figure what else to do. Thanks!

To enter your Form 1098-T information (even when TurboTax thinks it has already been entered and is showing $0), 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.

If you need help to get back to the Education section of your return, use 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

I am having the exact same problem. When I search "Education" there is not a "Jump to" option. I'm using TurboTax Deluxe on a Mac.

This is absurd-everything that TurboTax is posting is so confusing obviously they don’t have a good product for 1098 t for inputting taxable scholarship information and I’ve used TurboTax for years and this is horrible! The directions make no sense trying to trick the system because it’s not set up to work the way it supposed to is bogus...I read to stay away from TurboTax because he can’t handle 1098t or 8615 I should’ve listened
