My daughter took an art class that had a long list of required (expensive) supplies.   She dropped the class halfway through the semester.  We received no tuition refund and I understand that the tuition counts as a qualified expense for the 529 plan.  Does the cost of the materials that we purchased for the dropped class also still count as a qualified expense?

    Q. Does the cost of the materials that we purchased for the dropped class also still count as a qualified expense. for a 529 distribution?

    A. Yes. The fact that the course was not completed does not disqualify thee expense.
