i am confused about how to enter college room and board as a education expense. in the education expenses and scholarships section it seems to only allow me to enter tuition, fees and books/materials/ But room and board are qualified expenses for a 529 plan distribution.
in the 529 section TT is now telling me that my child needs to report a large portion of the 529 distribution as taxable because it doesn't know about the room and board
(i am entering both the 1098T and 1099Q because we are claiming an AOTC and there is somme double dipping with the 529 that i need to deal with (though the amount TT says is taxable is much larger than the overlap))
