No.
You cannot use the same dollars of qualified education credits to justify a 529 distribution and to claim education credits. That would be double-dipping.
However, please note that room and board may be used for the 529 distribution and any left-over expenses may be used by your son to claim education credits. You can also decide to allocate more expenses for the credit and pay taxes on part of the 529 earnings if this is globally more favorable for you and your son.
