529 plan and education credits

My son has a 529 account.  He lives off campus.  I used his 529 account to pay for all of his qualified education expenses.  I didnt take anything above his expenses.  Nothing should be taxable.  I do not claim him as a dependent.  My question is:  Is he eligible to receive an education credit even though all his education expenses were paid in full with a 529 account?  Thank you.
