Education expenses--TT is changing them--why, is this ok?
Entered1099-Q showing reimbursement to me of child's eligible college expenses that paid for. This distrib shows on step by step page entitled "Form 1099-Q Summary." A few pages further, it has me enter the expenses against the reimbursement so Im not taxed on the distribution. Everything seems fine there but when I go to child's student wksht on our tax form, TT has changed some of the expenses and the total amount is about $1300 higher than my actual expense. Tuition & room/board are unchanged, but it increased books/other course materials from $894 to $1721, computer-software- internet by around $300. The distribution to me is zeroed out, but I want to make sure this is right bc if there are any unused expenses, they could go to child's form to offset part of a distribution they had. Why is TT changing the numbers? Should I re-enter the correct #s on the student worksheet? Something else? Thanks for any help.
