That's right. Otherwise, it would be double-dipping. Also be aware of what is not qualified for the 529 also (You probably are aware, but this is mostly for others reading this thread.)
- Insurance, sports or club activity fees, and many other types of fees that may be charged to your students but are not required as a condition of enrollment
- Transportation costs
- Repayment of student loans
- Room and board costs in excess of the amount the school includes in its "cost of attendance" figures for federal financial aid purposes. If your student is living off campus, ask the financial aid department for the room and board allowance for students living at home with parents, or living elsewhere off campus, as the case may be. If the student is living in campus-owned dormitories, the amount you can include in QHEE is the amount the school charges for its room and board.
