Where do I indicate that I am not a dependent so I may deduct a 1098-T on my return?

In the personal info section.  You will be asked if you CAN be claimed as a dependent.  If you answer yes, you will then be asked if you will be claimed. Answer no.

There's a new urban myth among college students that says they can get a $1000 from the government just for filing a tax form. For most of them, they simply aren't eligible. A full time unmarried student, under age 24, even if you don't qualify as a dependent, is only eligible for the refundable portion of the American Opportunity Credit if he supports himself by working. You cannot be supporting yourself on parental support, 529 plans or student loans & grants. It is usually best if the parent claims that credit.
