I went to a pro 2 years ago. Without even looking at anything they said they were sure I wouldn't qualify for anything once they saw my 529 was pretty much paying for everything except books. I mentioned her living at home and room and board then and they laughed at me. Perhaps they weren't such a good pro after all I don't know.
I made it through three of years I'll make it through this 4th year thanks for your help. Perhaps I'll just delete the Q forms and see what happens... My real question was whether room and board would justify the 4K and expenses all along. I've gotten conflicting advice on that all along. I have never put it in somehow always been awarded the credit and never noticed any taxable income until this year was created the further confusion. I'm going to assume that having a student live at home would satisfy that 4K and I really should have had nothing to worry about all these years. I assume if they audit me I can just show that I neglected to put all that down and that would even things out at that time...
