Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If a 1099-Q is entered, the program is looking to tax the income. It does not expect extra forms to be entered without a reason. Since the 1099-Q was not income, it should not be entered. Tuck the 1099-Q into your tax folder. IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states that nontaxable distributions should not be entered.
