Choosing a larger education credit

Hello, I am uncertain what to do with the "choosing a larger education credit".  I used money from the 529 to cover tuition, books from amazon, meal plan and parking.

 

Here are my details:

1098T box 19015
1098T box 52875
1099Q box 19517
1099Q box 23130

 

The turbo tax box is pre-populating the amount used to calculate education credit as 6,383.   Should I updated this to 4,000?  This affects my federal tax due, but I'm scared to think I owe less if I enter this amount wrong.
