I have not received a 1098-T and am stuck until I enter in a Filer's Employer Id Number. Why would I get this?

In the subject of your post you imply that you received a 1098-T. Yet in the body of your post you state you do not have a 1098-T.  Which is it? If you did receive a 1098-T, what tax year is that 1098-T for?

If you have not been enrolled or worked for a school for over three years and did not receive a 1098-T, then there is nothing to report.  

You need to delete the 1098-T entry that is keeping you from filing your return.

 

Follow these steps in TurboTax:

 

  • Federal
  • Deductions and Credits
  • Education
  • Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)
  • Go through the screens until you find the 1098-T and then delete it.
