Why do you need to enter the payments you made to the student's education expenses?
Is the student your dependent? Are you claiming the student on your tax return?
Why do you not have a 1098-T?
Did you make a distribution from a 529 or other saving instrument and if yes, did you get Form 1099-Q showing that distribution? (are you listed as the recipient or is the student?)
If the student is not your dependent, only the student (or the Taxpayer that claims the student) can use the expenses paid towards a credit, no matter who made the payments.
