You are not eligible to claim an education credit or deduction on your tax return. In order to qualify for an education credit, you must actually pay for qualified education expenses. In your case, you were allowed to take courses for free. That is why your Form 1098-T showed an amount in Box 1 (qualified education expenses) and then the same amount in Box 5 (Scholarships or grants). You are only eligible to claim the education expenses that exceeded any scholarship or grant.
Please see IRS Publication 970 for more information.
