I received a 1098-T for my daughter but the amount showing in box 1 I think was paid in December 2017, but this is for 2018. Can I try to get the credit for this?

It depends.  If this is the tuition for the 2018 Spring semester and you pay in 2017, IRS still allows you to claim on your 2018 taxes.  However, if this is not for the 2018 Spring semester, you cannot claim.
