College tuition credit?

I’m a New York City resident. I’ll be doing work-study at Fordham University. As part of the requirements they want me to fill out some tax forms such as the W-4 form and a choice between the IT-2104 or IT-2104e form. It’s a bit tricky because they’re asking me about things that don’t really apply to me so I end up leaving a lot of questions blank. Fordham University states that they can’t give me tax advice while filling out these forms.

On the IT-2104 worksheet form it asks me to “enter 1 for each credit you expect to claim on your state return.
7 College tuition credit…
8 New York State household credit…
9 Real property tax credit…”

But on the IT-2104e it seems much simpler to fill out yet I don’t know what’s the difference between the two forms. It’s weird. Can someone help me with this?

Here’s the link where I’m getting the stuff from:

By sorry if this is the inappropriate place to post this thread. I wasn’t sure if I should post it here or in the fin-aid forum. Thanks anyways for whoever can help.
