I’m not clear on the guidelines for withdrawals from 529 plans for “qualified education expenses”. If my daughter lives in an apartment and is not on a meal plan, are these still considered qualified expenses for withdrawal purposes? Even looking at our plan’s guidelines, I’m still confused. Our accountant seems uncertain also. How have others dealt with this?
