There is an exception. R&B is a qualified expenses for a 529 plan (or ESA) distribution. TT will give you an entry point for R&B, but you must have previously entered your 1099-Q for the 529 distribution. 

To get the screen to enter Room & Board, answer yes when asked if you have book expenses, in the 1098-T section.
