You can use the amount actually paid during the year for purposes of calculating the education credits.

If you are preparing the 2018 tax return and nothing was paid in 2018, the 1098-T seems to be correct because $0 was paid.

TaxGuyBill, Yes, nothing was paid in 2018; but, $ 8,000 was paid in late 2017 for Jan 2018 semester.   I never encountered this situation.
