Q. My tuition paid was 3731 and the reimbursement was only for 2558 do I need to report the both the tuition paid and the reimbursement?
A. You have no income to report. But you may be able to claim a tuition credit based on the $1173 difference (3731 - 2558 = 1173). How you enter it in TurboTax (TT) depends on your documentation. Typically the school reports $3731 in box 1 of the 1098-T and 0 in box 5 (because you got reimbursement, not scholarship). In that case, you have to tell TT, when it asks, about the reimbursement, so that it only uses $1173 for the credit, not $3731.
