We have a 1098-T for a child we don't claim as a dependent, are we required to enter the 1098-T, especially since we entered the 1099-Q form?

The 1099-Q is in Michael's name (his dad) but the dependents mom claims him on her tax return as a dependent.

The 1099 Q needs to be entered on Michael's tax return. You need to enter education expenses to offset the 1099 Q but you do not enter the 1098 T because the child is not a dependent on Michael's tax return.  See the steps below.

Steps to report the 1099 Q  if it benefits a non-dependent:

Select Federal Taxes
Select Deductions and Credits
Select Show More at Education
Select Start or Revisit at ESA and 529 qualified tuition programs (Form 1099-Q)

Indicate that the payment was for "A beneficiary that's not a dependent on this return" - see screenshot below.

You will be prompted to enter the beneficiary name. Then, you will be directed to a screen where you can enter the beneficiary's education expenses.  See screenshot below.
