Education
Not everything you paid to the school is a Qualified educational expense (QEE). The extra $373 (9095 - 8468) is most likely fees (e.g. student activity fee) that don't qualify. Unless you know otherwise, don't change the box 1 amount when you enter the 1098-T.
Unless you entered a 1099-Q (529 plan distribution) earlier, you usually don't get an entry point for room and board (R&B). Even if you enter R&B, TT will not use any of it to claim the education credit.
If you entered scholarships, TT will ask how much of the scholarship was used for room and board. Be sure you didn't enter R&B there (unless you want that much of the scholarship to be taxable (to the student, not you)
