What is the “filers federal ID no.”

Try to log into your online college account and go to their financial section to get financial details. If you didn't receive a Form 1098-T, you can still enter your school expenses without a Form 1098-T. When you come to the screen asking if you received a Form 1098-T, simply answer “ no ” to that question and proceed with the rest of the interview.

To report your Education expenses:

• Login to your account.
• Select Federal from the left menu.
• Go to Deductions and Credits.
• Scroll down to Education.
• Select Start next to Expenses and Scholarships (Form 1098-T)

Maya, You didn't answer the question. We need to know what the Filer ID is and where to find it. If it is the School's Federal ID, the form should be straightforward and use that term. Remember, we use Turbo Tax because we're not accountants.

The ''filer's federal ID no.'' is at the top of Form 1098-T. If you don't have Form 1098-T, you have to answer NO to that question. You will only be asked for that number if entering Form 1098-T as it is specific to the school. The ID number is referenced as Filer's employer identification number on the form. @Mapper23

@AmberLynne Your children are in elementary school?

Education expenses for grades K-12 are not deductible on your Federal return, whether for private, public, or home schooling, nor are the expenses for tutoring, after school lessons or after school activities, such as dance lessons, sports, etc. Some states allow deductions/credits for K-12 education and/or home schooling expenses; if your state has these deductions available, you will be prompted to enter them when you prepare your state return. (As far as I know, the states that offer any sort of K-12 deductions/credits are Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,Louisiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin)
