American Oppurtunity Credit

I am claiming both of my college kids for 2013 and using turbo tax. My kids are paying their tuition and housing with scholarships and loans and we have paid books and fees. we did receive 1098-T forms for both kids but we paid none of those fees ourselves...they are through the kids' loans. Turbo tax asked me to enter the info from these forms and gave us 2500 credit for ea kid...I feel like I should not be allowed this credit as none of the tuition or housing was pd by us. should I back out all the 1098-T info and just claim the books or is Turbo tax correct in asking me for this info?
