Yes, you should  to enter the 1098-T for education credits.

 

Tuition-paying students at eligible colleges or other post-secondary institutions should receive a copy of Internal Revenue Service Form 1098-T from their school each year.  Eligible institutions include most colleges, universities, and vocational schools that are eligible to participate in the Department of Education’s student aid programs. This form provides information about educational expenses that may qualify the student—or the student's parents or guardian, if the student is still a dependent—for education-related tax credits.

Q. Can i put education expenses or is that included in the 1098-T?

A. Yes & no. 

 

For most people, box 1 of the 1098-T includes most, if not all, the qualified expenses (tuition and fees), paid for college.  But  if you had additional expenses, typically books and computers, the TurboTax interview will allow you to enter the additional expenses. Answer yes when asked about books, to get the screen for additional expenses.
