For a 1098-T, if box 1 and 5 is the same, what do the student put as the portion for employer assistance when they answer yes to receiving help to pay for school.

My education is paid for by my employer, Amazon, through their career choice program. Because i start school in May of 2024, my position as a student is half-time. Therefore, i was unable to utilize my full 5250 tuition assistance, causing box 1 and box 5 to be the same amount. Thus, i became confuse. Do i put the whole total of 3485 as the portion since i didn't pay for any tuition expense at all throughout the year, from when i start to dec. 31 2024?
