Claiming Tuition for daughter @ UK university

I see questions similar to this but not exactly what I need to ask. Our daughter is a FT student at a university. It does not issue a 1098-T. However, it has provided an EIN and US Federal School code. 

I have a record of what we paid. Should I enter the information on the Turbo Tax form ("Type in the info from your 1098-T")? If not, is there any other way to get the tuition information entered?

Claiming Tuition for daughter @ UK university

Enter your daughter’s education expense as if you received a Form 1098-T if her school has an EIN number.

 

IRS says:

If a student’s educational institution isn't required to provide a Form 1098-T to the student, you may claim one of these education benefits without a Form 1098-T if you otherwise qualify, can demonstrate that you (or a dependent) were enrolled at an eligible educational institution, and can substantiate the payment of qualified tuition and related expenses.

 

See Instructions for Form 8863 (2022).

 

Institutions eligible for education credits are any college, university, trade school, or other post-secondary educational institution eligible to participate in a student aid program run by the U.S. Department of Education.

 

Eligible schools are listed on the U.S. Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Post Secondary Institutions and Programs (DAPIP) or the Federal Student Loan Program list.
