My parents paid my tuition but I paid for my expenses (primarily textbooks). Should I add this info to my tax return?

My parents paid my tuition but I paid for my textbooks. My parents claim me as a dependent. I started entering in my 1098-T information then I realized my mistake (this is my first year doing my taxes!) Do I still include my 1098-T information on my tax return or does only my parents? Can I claim my tuition expenses because I paid for them, or should my parents do that?
