You don't mention education credits. If your income is too high for the education credit, you do not enter the 1098-T. In addition, if there is taxable scholarship income, it goes on the student's return.
The 1098-T is an informational form rather than a legal form. However, because of the way your numbers look, I wonder if the missing money is on last year's return. Tuition paid for the first 3 months of the next year are allowed on the 1098-T so perhaps winter 2023 was listed on the 2022 1098-T by the college.
You will need to check your records for actual 2023 expenses. Scholarships can also be wrongly credited but must be claimed when the 1098-T says.
