Room and Board is never deducible. Only tuition and qualified expenses are if you paid for them for a dependent.

Room and board are not qualified expenses for any education tax benefit, except a 529/ESA distribution or an IRA penalty exception.  Even then, the student must be half time or more to qualify.
