You can't lump tuition with room and board.
Funds (scholarships) used to pay tuition are tax-free.
Funds used to pay room and board are taxable income for the student.
I suggest you go through the Education section once more from beginning to end, it is quite a lengthy interview.
One of the last screen will say "Maximize My Tax Break"
The program should show a list of the expenses and scholarships it is using for the calculation.
You may also type letme into the search and then click the "jump to letme" link that comes up.
This will take you to a screen where you may be able to change your selection of an education credit
