What you see in the education section depends on what you select in Credits and deductions. If you have a school tax form (Form 1098-T), enter the information manually instead of uploading the form.
Follow the steps below based on your situation:
If you paid education expenses
Go to Credits and deductions
On Boost your refund with these credits, select Paid educational costs for yourself or for a dependent, then select Continue
On Tell us about students, select Add student info
Answer the questions about the student, then select Continue
On Enter the following information for the educational institution the student attends in 2025, select Add institution
Enter the information exactly as it appears on Form 1098-T, then select Continue
You can add one Form 1098-T per student. To add another student, select Add student info and repeat these steps.
If you didn’t pay education expenses
Go to Credits and deductions
On Boost your refund with these credits, unselect Paid educational costs for yourself or for a dependent
Select Continue
This removes the education and Form 1098-T questions from your return.
If you uploaded a Form 1098-T
Form 1098-T information must be entered manually. If you uploaded the form:
Select the folder icon to open Document Manager
Delete the uploaded Form 1098-T
Return to Credits and deductions and enter the information manually
If you uploaded more than one Form 1098-T for the same student, delete the extra copies.
Important:
Form 1098-T information must be entered manually
Each student can have one 1098-T
Uploaded copies should be removed from the Document Manager
Information must match the form exactly
