Thank you. I have been doing this in my past returns. In 2021, the room and boarding charges were very less since my son studied most of the time from home due to Covid. Hence, the scholarship money covered both the qualified and room & boarding charges. So, I didn't pay any additional amount to the college. Is that ok to claim that I spend $4,000 out of pocket on food and other expenses while he was studying from home to claim the American Opportunity Tax credit?
