Hello - We have a 529 plan for our child who just started attending college in the fall of 2017. I tallied up his qualified expenses at the end of December 2017 and submitted a request for a distribution for that amount. However, due to the fact that it was our first withdrawal from this account, it took a couple of extra days to process and the transaction ended up being executed on January 2 of 2018. So, I did not receive a 2017 1099-Q for the amount withdrawn, even though the amount was attributable to 2017 expenses.
Should I just let this go and attribute the above expenses to 2018 when I do the 2018 taxes? Or... something else? Just in case this affects the answer, we cannot take advantage of any other educational tax credits.
Thanks!
