in Education
I want to enter books, internet, room and board for post secondary expenses. I see the area on Turbo Tax for elementary/secondary but not post secondary. It says it can be entered later in the education topic but I'm not led there by Turbo Tax.

Education expenses for college expenses are usually entered initially with a 1098-T issued from the school. Once entered you can add additional expenses, such as books and supplies.
Room and board expenses would only be relevant to offset a 529 distribution (1099-Q).
College expenses and grad school expenses are treated differently tax-wise, but entered in the same "Education" section on the federal return under Deductions & Credits.
k-12 expenses would only be mentioned on a federal return to offset a 1099-Q, but might also be relevant on a state return.
