Q. Did you come to $30,856 by adding in room & board?
A. Yes. And also the books and computer.
Q. I'm pretty sure that the only expense not covered by the 529 was the computer?
A. No. The computer does count for the 529, even though you did not literally pay for it with 529 money. The fact that the computer was bought in the same year as the 529 distribution, and was needed for school, qualifies it.
