question about 1099Q and 1098T
Help, I am a bit confused.
Both of my children are age 24 or older, so they are no longer dependents.
They both attended college or post-graduate last year. The institutions issued 1098T forms to each of them.
I took distributions from their 529 plans to help cover expenses, but (and this might have been a mistake), I took the distributions, so the 1099Q forms were issued in my TIN.
For my older son's distribution, I took the $10,000 distribution for student loans, there's no checkmark in the 1099Q (I don't think there's a spot for it in the 1099Q), but I selected it. But I see no way in TurboTax to declare that's what I did, and as a result about $3307 is presently showing as taxable income.
How do I fix this? In particular, how do I declare that I used $10,000 to repay a student loan, and have it removed from my taxable income?
