TT will only give you the room and board screen, in the education expenses section, if you previously entered the 1099-Q. To get the screen to enter Room & Board, answer yes when asked if you have book expenses.
Student dependents are (almost) never eligible for a tuition credit.
Why are you entering anything on the student's return. Nothing mentioned above indicates that she has any of the reasons for entering education info.
- She has taxable scholarship
- Some of the 1099-Q is taxable
- She can claim a credit
The 1099-Q and the 1098-T are only informational documents. The numbers on them are not required to be entered onto your (or your student's) tax return.
