Adding my 1098-T to my taxes makes me owe to federal taxes?

Hello! I need help understanding on what to do! I’m trying to amend my taxes for 2024 because I forgot to add my 1098-T form, but when I went to add it, it shows that I owe 189 dollars to federal taxes; is this right? Box 1 is greater than box 5 (by 1,841.99). I see that some people don’t add the 1098-T form on their taxes if they don’t quality for tax credit (which I’m not). But then I see some different opinions when it comes to box 1 and box 5. Please help me! Obviously I don’t mind paying what I owe, but do I really need to show my 1098T form? Or do I need to now cause of me owing back?
