Under books is the room and board question. If you have not subtracted those extra expenses, that would confuse things. If you have no taxable income from the 529, the IRS does not want it reported.
IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states:
If the entire 1099-Q went to qualified expenses, room and board, tuition, etc then you do not need to enter the form. Tuition paid for the first 3 months of the next year also qualify, see page 12, What Expenses Qualify, and page 52 for qualified distributions.
Page 45 repeats: Don't report tax-free distributions (including qualifying rollovers) on your tax return.
