Hi @Hal_Al ,
I did also enter a 1099-Q from my 529 and that's why Room & Board is listed. I'll try to ask my question in a different way. What I'm trying to understand is shouldn't the total amount I spent ($9468 in my case) equal the *sum* of:
tuition & fees (used 1098-T box 1 of $9095 in my case),
Books ($0 in my case)
Other Books ($132 in my case)
Room and Board ($3532 in my case)
Computer Software? ($85 in my case)?
So using my numbers: 9095 + 132 + 3532 + 85 = $12844 which exceeds the total amount I paid ($9468). How can this be if 1098-T amount is only "tuition and fees" by definition? That's what I'm trying to understand... Apologies in advance if I have miss interpreted something.
room & board ($3532), plus books, etc.?
