Education

At the screen "Did (student's name) have any of these common situations in 2025", check the box "had education expenses other than tuition".         

That will get you a screen, later, "Time to enter (student's name) educational expenses". Enter those expenses at "Optional books and materials from the school".  

 

Room and board (R&B) are not qualifying expenses for a tuition credit or tax free scholrship.

 

R&B are qualified expenses for a 529 plan distribution. But, you can't enter those room and board expenses yet. This is a known glitch in TurboTax (TT). They are working on it (no announced fix date).   The 2025 education and 529 sections appear totally redesigned, from last year.
