When you say your 1098-T includes the 9,174, in which box? It should be in Box 1 and nothing in box 5.
If Box 1 of the 1098-T reports 9,174 and Box 5 is blank, the question is if the tuition reimbursement was listed on your W-2. It usually is not.
If the 5,250 was given directly to you (as well as the remaining 9,174) and 3,924 was added to your income in Box 1 of your W-2, (as I assume was the case) when you enter the 1098-T, also report 5,250 as employer assistance in that section.
The program will read that there was 9,174 education expenses, your employer paid 5,250, therefore your credit will be based on 3,924 of expenses.
