I am processing my expenses for school and some were paid with my financial aid. I just want to make sure I am listing the expenses correctly.

Qualified college expenses paid by financial aid cannot be claimed for credit or deductions. Only qualified expenses paid with loans or out of pocket can be claimed.

See IRS – Pub 970 as a reference.
