It depends on why you didn't receive a 1098-T. After telling TT that you didn't get one, you will be asked if you qualify for an exception. Answering yes gets you into the education expenses interview.
Form 1098-T requirement.
To be eligible to claim the tuition and fees deduction, American opportunity credit, or the lifetime earning credit, the law requires a taxpayer (or a dependent) to have received a Form 1098-T from an eligible educational institution. However, a taxpayer may claim one of these education benefits if the student doesn’t receive a Form 1098-T because the student’s educational institution isn’t required to send a Form 1098-T to the student under existing rules (for example, if the student is a nonresident alien, has qualified education expenses paid entirely with scholarships, or has qualified education expenses paid under a formal billing arrangement). If a student’s educational institution isn’t required to provide a Form 1098-T to the student, a taxpayer may claim one of these education benefits without a Form 1098-T if the taxpayer otherwise qualifies, can demonstrate that the taxpayer (or a dependent) was enrolled at an eligible educational institution, and can substantiate the payment of qualified tuition and related expenses.
