Education
TurboTax doesn't ask about Room and Board expenses for a student in the Education section, as these are only qualified expenses for 529 distributions. If your 1099-Q distribution was entirely used for qualified expenses (including room and board), you don't need to enter it in your return. Keep your own records of what was paid with the distribution.
If scholarship funds reported on a 1098-T were used for room and board, this is noted in the Education section and is reported as taxable income.
Here's more info on Form 1098-T.
