Education/529 Plan

We have a 529 plan.  The 1099-Q shows a $22,450 distribution, $8,800 in earnings, and a basis of  shows a basis of $13,650.  The 1098-T  shows $22,311 received for qualified tuition and expenses.  When I did my kids taxes, TT adjusted the qualified tuition and expenses to $12,000 and made other adjustments that resulted in $3,300 of income based on the 529 distribution.  I do not understand how TT is calculating this and there is so much income.  Following PUB 950 it looks like the income should be around $65.   Any ideas?
