Unless you need to report taxable distributions on a 1099-Q, you should not enter it on the return. If you're not sure, TurboTax can help you make this determination for dependents.
When there are no taxable distributions that transfer to the tax return, nothing is submitted to the IRS about any entries that you make into TurboTax regarding the distribution.
I realize it can cause some anxiety to hear "just leave it off" regarding an official tax form. However, this is what the IRS expects. You may find some comfort in looking on the back (or bottom) of the form itself, where this is noted in the second sentence under "Instructions for Recipient".
Maintain the form in your files, along with your receipts - just in case there is any question later on as to the taxability of the distribution.
