If you enter the 1099-Q FIRST, the program asks for the expenses (1098-T) to be entered and then matches the expenses from the 1098-T to the distribution on the 1099-Q. If there are no additional expenses, there will be no credit generated.
If you enter the 1098-T FIRST, the program will take expenses for an education credit. In this case, it "appears" to the program that there are no expenses to apply to the distribution. This may result in an Education Credit and taxable distribution.
If the distribution is treated as taxable, that will need to be claimed by the person that was issued the 1099-Q.

into the search-box and click the letme link to see if the program took, and change if needed, the credit.
