Claiming LLC on employer paid tuition

My wife's grad school tuition is paid by her employer. The value above the standard nontaxable limit is included as wages on her W2 (about $14k). The tuition is paid directly by her employer (which is also the school she is attending) and we have never received a 1098-T. I was previously under the impression that we can't use this  tuition as part of the LLC amount (AOC already used up from undergrad) since we don't get a 1098-T, but looking through forums and at Pub 970 it appears like this additional income should qualify. Am I correct in this thinking? If so, how would I go about including this in our taxes? We don't get any official statements regarding tuition so the only number we have comes from the W2.
