In the search box type 1099-Q, jump to section in Turbo Tax.

You need payers name and ID number, etc.  (This is the Trustee)

Amounts from box 1,2, 3,4,5 (type of program)

Box 6:The person whose SSN is on the 1099-Q has to report the distribution on their tax return.

Distribution Code, State sponsoring the plan and questions about beneficiary.  If the beneficiary is a dependent on on your return, The parent will have to complete the Education Expense Interview and enter 1098-T information.  Room and Board expenses qualify for 1099-Q money.
