I am feeling this same frustration. A clear cut answer would be most helpful as the answers I've seen seem to alternate between the parent of dependent child claiming both 1099-Q and 1098-T to student/recipient of 1099Q being required to file and therefore needing to file the 1098-T to counter balance and prove it was used for qualified expenses to both parent and student claiming the 1098-T at the same time. I'm getting to the point where I'm not going to be able to use Turbotax and will have to make an appointment with a certified tax preparer to get the answer we're all searching for. I don't want an answer from the "community," I want an answer from an accountant, so that my family doesn't have to contest an audit from the mistakes this situation is threatening.
