College expenses without 1098-T

My daughter was a student and graduated from college in Spring 2021.  The spring tuition was billed and paid in Dec. 2020, so no 1098-T form.  But she had expenses for spring semester (Jan-May) including books, room and board.  Can I enter those expenses?

Room and board does not qualify as an education expenses for education credits.

 

Books can only be claimed for the AOTC.

 

Please read this IRS document for more information.
