Turbotax is saying my income is too high to enter the 1098-T. But I have a 1099-Q which is then becoming taxable. Turbotax is showing $0 for the 1098-T after entering.

I have $10,000 on the 1099-Q ($1,000 of it earnings, basis $9,000) and a $10,000 1098-T.  I enter the 1099-Q and the earnings are taxable until I go to the 1098-T Section. I enter the $10,000 on the 1098-T and it says my income is too high to deduct any education expenses.  That's fine, but I at least need the $10,000 under the 1098-T section to stick in order to offset the 1099-Q from becoming taxable.  How do I bypass this?  Change the earnings to zero?  If I change the earnings on the 1099-Q section to zero, it changes my Federal to what it "should" be.  Any advice?
