I am an F1 student who got classified as a resident for tax purposes. I received several forms: 1098-T, 1095-B, and form 8843. As far as I know, I believe I don't have to file form 8843 because I classify as a resident (correct me if I'm wrong). So I will ignore the 8843. As for the 1098-T, what am I supposed to do with it? I understand it's regarding my tuition bill. I am receiving a scholarship from my school and it is noted on the 1098-T; is the scholarship amount taxable or something? Everything looks filled out already, so I'm not sure what to do with it. The same goes for 1095-B.
These are the only three documents that I am currently aware of. Are there any other documents that I must fill out? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you.

You are correct. As a resident, you do not need to file form 8843.
The 1098-T is for education credits. If the scholarship income is less than your tuition, then you or your parents (depending on your age and if they are filing as US Residents) may be eligible for an education credit.
If the scholarship is more than your tuition, then yes, that does become taxable income.
You do not need to do anything with your 1095-B. Only a 1095-A is entered on your return.
If you have no income, you do not need to file a return, unless your scholarship income becomes taxable income.
