Unable to enter ADDITIONAL education expenses in TurboTax 2025!

In TurboTax 2025 I am unable to enter additional higher education expenses, including Room and Board, to offset qualified withdrawals from a 529 account. Without this option, I will be taxed on 529 withdrawals that should NOT be taxed! This option has been present in TurboTax Deluxe for multiple years past.

Do I need to request a refund from Intuit and purchase another tax preparation program?

Below is a redacted screenshot from TurboTax Deluxe 2024 showing when we were able to enter this data:

You can't enter room & board expenses yet. This is a known glitch in TurboTax (TT). They are working on it (no announced fix date). The 2025 education and 529 sections appear totally redesigned, from last year.

Thank you for the quick reply!

I now see that numerous persons have started multiple forum threads that are echoing my exact same issue.

Hopefully Intuit will promptly address this obvious oversight.

I’m used to TurboTax but won’t hesitate to transition my patronage to another online tax-filing software platform if they don’t address this error.

Have a great day and thanks again!

Please provide an update. I just downloaded newest SW (Desktop Version) and it still isn't working. If it is fixed please provide an update on how to get to sheet to input other expenses
