Thank you for the answers. The 1099-Q does not need to be entered since all of it was used on qualified expenses. It can be tucked into your tax folder.
You have tuition of $27,955 - $200 scholarship - $13947.50 from Q = $13,807.50 left out of pocket. You can claim the $10,000 needed for Lifetime Learning Credit.
To claim the credit, enter the 1098-T. Because you qualify for the entire amount of the credit, you don't need to worry about manipulating numbers.
If your $13,807.50 had been less than $10,000 we would have needed to use part of the 1099-Q on room and board. You did not answer that question above other than to say the student lived at home. The college should have a guide for those living off campus. The student still has some meal expenses -even when living at home. The student may be required to have internet for some classes, along with other living expenses.
