If you are the beneficiary and received the income, you should be the one to file the 1099-Q. 

  • If your mother is the account owner and received the 1099-Q, you will need to get it from her.
  • Make sure you can show that you took the funds and used them.
  • She does not need to include it on her return, even with her social on the form since you are claiming it.

If you are not the beneficiary, then you can't claim the income. See Guide to IRS Form 1099-Q: Payments from Qualified Education Programs.
