Your income isn't allowing you into the section so let's look at our options:
IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states:
If the entire 1099-Q went to qualified expenses, room and board, tuition, etc then you do not need to enter the form. Tuition paid for the first 3 months of the next year also qualify, see page 12, What Expenses Qualify, and page 52 for qualified distributions.
Pub 970 states:
The taxable portion is the amount of the excess distribution that represents earnings that have accumulated tax free in the account. Figure the taxable portion for 2024 as shown in the following steps.
