Time to enter x's education expenses Required books and materials from the school   Optional books and materials from the school   Back Continue   I'm pasting the screen within TurboTax 2025 here where historically you can enter room & board for off campus housing as well as computer purchases.  For the life of me I can't locate those options in TurboTax 2025 desktop version.  This screen grab is from after first inputting a 1099-Q which is greater than the total reflected on the corresponding 1098-T from a given university where the difference in my case is for off campus housing & food which are below the university's COA as published by their financial aid office so those expenses are qualified education expenses and there should be a spot to enter them as there has always been one in the past. Help!!
