If it turns out that the amount actually paid for tuition is more than what was reported on the Form 1098-T, then there is a place to enter that number. There is a link on the screen in TurboTax where you enter the information from the Form 1098-T to expand that page and enter the actual amounts paid for tuition.
You will find the link directly under the entry for Box 2 of the 1098-T. It says “What if this is not what I paid to this school?” in blue letters. Click that link and an additional box will open up to allow you to enter the actual amounts that were paid for tuition.
As you progress through the education section of your tax return, there will be additional screens to enter amounts paid for books, supplies, and other school expenses.
