1098T boxes 1 & 2 have the same amounts & there are no other boxes filled in. What do I do?

Since I have to complete just as the 1098T reads and Turbo Tax doesn't like it what do I do?

In tax year 2016, school were required to report Box 1 OR Box 2.

Please only enter Box 2.

Type all entries, do not use cut, copy, or paste.

Leave blank boxes (and box 1) blank, do not enter zeros.

You may need to delete the 1098-T and re-enter it.
