Retirement tax questions

Thanks for the help you're providing! I know for certain, though, that the 1098-T we received from the school does include room & board. I can see in the account details on the school's website that, in 2020, we paid $10,694 for fall '20 tuition and fees, $1,751 for fall '20 room and board (it would have been higher but our daughter moved back home after a month due to the pandemic), and $4,151 for spring '21 tuition and fees, for a total of $16,596. This is the exact same amount included in box 1 of the 1098-T. I can see that the instructions for the 1098-T say that the school should not have included room and board, but they clearly did. Where does this leave us? And thanks again!
