FORM 1098-T

My employer paid ALL of my education expenses. Form 1098-T shows $12,000 in box 1 and $5000 in box 5. I paid NOTHING!  

Turbotax is giving me the Education Credits for American Opportunity  Credit.  

 

How can I get a credit if I paid NOTHING?   Then I read that you don't have to report the 1098-T if it is all payments made by scholarship or by employer. Is that accurate????
