Don't enter the 1098-T on your tax return, since you know:

1. It's wrong

2. None of your scholarship is taxable

3. Neither you or your parents can claim a Tuition credit.  So, no, they do not enter the 1098-T, on their return, either.

 

The 1098-T is only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your tax return.  Don't bother to ask for a corrected 1098-T; 1. your don't need it and 2. they (almost) always say no. 

 

Your situation is common: (apparently) the tuition was shown on the 2019 1098-T, but the offsetting scholarship shown on the 2020.
