First year college student and bill is being paid directly to the school via our 529 plan. Student is the beneficiary. All distribution is being used for qualified expenses. However, the distribution for January 2019 semester came in December of 2018. Ouch...does this cause a tax burden? Since the 1098 only lists one semester of tuition (first year student) . Or can I simply note that I paid the whole tuition for the year in December? Feeling stupid, but hoping I didn't mess up my child's tax burden!
