How do I handle the 1098-T when my "payments received" were already reported elsewhere (Americorps)?

I used approximately $2000 AmeriCorps of education award this year. That amount is on both a 1099-MISC form and a 1098-T. I already viewed this thread:
https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3148682-how-to-account-for-1099-misc-from-americorps-education-awa...
However, if I say that I did not receive a 1098-T then I find myself with a screen asking about whether I qualify for an exception. I do not appear to qualify for an exception, but if I say this then it autofills my tuition expenses as $0 and I can't change it.

Do I follow this path anyway even though my tuition expenses weren't $0?

The TurboTax program asks if any of the scholarship in Box 5 of the 1098-T is also reported on another tax document. You should answer "yes" and enter the amount duplicated on the 1098-T and 1099-MISC.

This question is in the "Scholarship" interview on the "Here's Your Education Summary" screen.
