if all school expenses are covered by 529 program, do i  have to enter anything on my tax forms

No. If you have no out of pocket education expenses, you will not qualify for an education credit, so there is no need to enter anything.

Q. if all school expenses are covered by 529 program, do i  have to enter anything on my tax forms?

A. No.  The 1099-Q and 1098-T are only informational documents. The numbers are not required to be entered onto either the student's or parent's tax return. 

But, at tax time, you are allowed to re-allocate the expenses for the best tax benefits.  That is, you may still be eligible for a generous tuition credit by paying a little tax on the 529 earnings and/ or the student's scholarship money.

See above, for a full explanation.
