1098-T in 2025 & TT request for 2024 data

Trying to complete taxes but this has had me stumped for the last week. I've entered the 2025 1098-T data for my 2 college students (both dependents), finished up the taxes (I thought), then I go to Smart Check and it asks for 1098-T data from 2024. I have a "1098-T Worksheet" from 2024 but that's all. Questions:

1. Why do I need 1098-T data from 2024 for my 2025 taxes?

2. How do I complete the requested information using just that 1098-T Worksheet?

3. Is there a workaround where I can simply skip this, pass the Smart Check, and move on to filing?
Thanks.

    The 1098-T worksheet has all the information as the original 1098-T, just in a different form.
