Room and board (R&B) are not qualified expenses for a tuition credit or  tax free scholarship. R&B are qualified for a 529/ESA distribution. As such, TurboTax will not give you a place to enter R&B until you first enter your 1099-Q.  Enter the 1099-Q first. Then later, in the "Educational Expenses and Scholarships" section, answer yes when asked if you have book expenses That will  get you the screen to enter Room & Board.
