"Did you pay for books or materials to attend school?" Is this referring to any out of pocket purchases I made that were not paid for FAFSA?

You should include the cost of all books and other qualified education expenses you paid for, even if your student aid covered the cost.  Your student aid money is reported on your Form 1098-T, so TurboTax will subtract your student aid from your total education expenses to determine if you're entitled to a deduction or tax credit for education.
