@JulieS I found myself in the same predicament and followed your advice. Now I'm preparing my children's returns and I'm seeing conflicting advice about how to enter the correct amount, with some experts including the full amount from the 1099, and then doing a reversal by including a negative amount (the nontaxable portion of the pmt) under "other income". I'd much prefer the simpler method of reducing the taxable amount entered from the 1099. Are both of these methods acceptable?
