How much did they actually pay for the qualifying expenses? Don't just enter $250 each, enter the amount they actually paid.
Otherwise, yes, it seems correct. Although it doesn't make sense to me, tax-free distributions reduce the total expenses to be used for the Educator deduction. But again, enter the actual amount that they paid, not just $250.
