Education

I am getting the same error, however only on (1) of the (3) tax returns I am working on for my kids.  ALl three are currently in college.   I have entered the 1099Q's exactly the same way, however when looking at the Form 1099-Q Summary for each return, the one with the QTP issue has "0's" for line 18, "Education expenses not used as basis for credits" and 19, "Non-taxable QTP distributions.  Whereas, for the others, these amounts match box 1 and box 2 on the 1099-Q, respectively.   Why is that?  I'm trying to get these all done and I am not sure what to do.  Two of the tree kids were in college last year so I am entering info just as I did last tax year and have the 2018 comparable amounts in the "deductions" section so I know I am entering it in the correct location.  All distributions were used for educational expenses.   Please advise.
