Education
You need to come up with a number for room and board, if your student was half time or more. Otherwise all your 529 earnings are going to be taxable (if you claim the AOC) and some even subject to penalty. Even some of the scholarship will be taxable if you claim the AOC. Ask the college for their room and board "allowance for attendance". The info may be available on their web site. My local CC used $3040/year R&B "allowance for cost of attendance" for student living with parents. Interestingly, my local CC has $3840 for tuition and fees (almost exactly the same as yours). So, your R&B may be close too.
Entering this in TT will be tricky. We may have to use workarounds. Entries will have to be made on both the parent and student returns.
