Simple answer: yes.
But, taxes aren't simple, as you should now know, from your multiple posts and the apparent fact that you're also dealing with a 1099-Q.
The 1098-T is only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your tax return. However receipt of a 1098-T frequently means you are either eligible for a tuition credit or deduction or possibly your student has taxable scholarship income. You claim the tuition credit, or report scholarship income, based on your own financial records, not the 1098-T. Entering the 1098-T usually makes that easier.
