We have a 529 that we will be using to pay some of daughters room and board. Grandparents are also paying a small amount. We are going to pay tuition out of our checking account in order to qualify for AOC. Do we have to mark those checks in a certain way to for AOC purposes? Or will just having the statements that show we paid total be enough as long as what was paid with non 529 funds is at least the amount if tuition??
