Education

 If you entered the 1098-T in your return and did not qualify for an Education Credit, you don't need to include it in your return. 

 

In that case, neither the 1098-T or the 1099-Q is reported in your tax return; the student reports both on their return. 

 

Basically, the student is liable for the excess taxable income, but only if they are required to file.
