Thank you both. I have a lot to learn on the education piece, I can see. 🙂
His only amount on the 1098-t is $2315 on box 1. For two summer classes, his tuition was $1599. All in, it was $3519 toward the university (meal plan and all random fees included) and then we had to add books on top of that. So far, it seems like only the $2315 and the cost of books is being asked for for deduction purposes.
I am not prompted to add anything in for room and board even though TT says I can deduct it if it was paid by "qualified education savings", which I assume includes 529s (right?). I did not receive a 1099 Q. I suppose because I won't own the 529.
