You can enter the information from your Form 1098-T and the amount that was actually paid for tuition. 

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.
