If I enter anticipated college expenses on the 529 page, do I need to enter college expenses again on the Special Expenditures page? Or would I be charging myself twice for college if I did that?
Thanks.

You would be charging yourself twice. If you look at the Detailed report and see the 529 sheet (on the Excel output) you'll see the breakdown of the accounting. But you'll also notice that these net amounts are also seen in the Total Spending report in the Special Expenditures column.
