Go through the education section again. When you get to the screen that says “Here’s your Education Summary”. Click edit next to “Education Information”. When you get to the screen titled “Amount Used to Calculate Education Deduction or Credit”, verify the amount you want to use or change it.
If that doesn't work, you can delete the 1099-Q and 1098-T and start over. If the 1099-Q goes on your return (because you are the recipient), enter it before you enter the 1098-T. The interview process goes smoother. Enter at Deductions & Credits/Education/ ESA and 529 Qualified Tuition Programs (or type> 1099-Q <in the search box).
Note that the qualified expenses have to be more than the box 1 amount on the 1099-Q, not just more than the box 2 amount.
