Deductions & credits

The program will want you to enter both forms, but you won't be able to file since there seems to be an update for the 1099-Q. 

 

You can delete the 1099-Q, but enter the 1098-T as it is reported. THEN enter 12,473 as ADDITIONAL tax-free assistance on the screen after the 1098-T entry screen.  

 

Be aware that you might be able to get  a larger credit by entering the 1099-Q and claiming some of the distribution as taxable if it frees up more expenses for a credit. BUT if you just want to claim the difference, without entering the 1099-Q, this is the way I would do it.
