After you file

@Greg_1014  Overall, did your 529 distributions exceed Qualified Education Expenses?

 

If not, you don't need to enter the 1099-Q in your return, just keep it for your records.

However, if your 1098-T shows a larger amount for Scholarships than for Tuition, there may be Taxable Scholarship Income.  You are correct that the 1098-T would be reported on the student's return (if they are required to file a return). 

 

If not, you may still qualify for an Education Credit.
