Room and Board is not a qualifying education expense. Generally, room and board isn't a qualified education expense for education tax credits.
Room and board expenses can be used for tax-free distributions from a Coverdell ESA or 529 plan. To qualify, the student must be enrolled at least half-time in a degree or certificate program. Room and board expenses can be included in the qualified education expenses for the non-taxable portion of the plan's distribution. Is room and board deductible?
