Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am the parent.  I opened the 529 in my son's name.   I received the 1099-Q from Schwab.  I am the recipient as I did get the money deposited into my checking account.  Box 6 is checked "the recipient is not the designated beneficiary."  My son graduated in May, got a job, and lives on his own now.  Therefore, he is not a dependent in 2019.  However, the distribution was used for qualified education expenses.  How do I manage this on my taxes?  As of now, Turbotax is claiming the box 2 "earnings" as additional income in Schedule 1 line 8 "other income."
