I'm working on a return for a friend and need some help with education deductions. Her daughter received scholarships in the amount of $12,450 and tuition and fees totaled $11,004. She used a coverdell esa to pay for room and board off campus (rent for apartment). She withdrew $12,027 from the coverdell. There were no earnings or basis listed on the 1099Q. FMV of $8,600 was given. Room and board based on university cost of attendance are $10,696. I entered the 1099Q and 1098T but turbo tax did not go a screen to enter the room and board amounts. I have searched the forum but can't find the specific answer. Where do I enter room and and board. Is this even deductible since the scholarships and coverdell withdrawal covered all expenses? Thank you for any help you can give me.
