1098T & 1099Q - Parent or Student?

I have a two-part question for the group...

 

1098-T - my daughter received a partial scholarship in 2019, and received a 1098-T (in her name).  She is still my dependent, but files her own simple return each year.  I think this is clearly on her return - is this a correct assumption?

 

1099-Q - we've long had a 529, of which I am the Owner and she is the Beneficiary.  This withdrawal was made in fall 2019 to pay fall tuition; however, it was withdrawn directly to our (my) bank, whereby I paid tution directly to the school (no direct option without the middle man).  1099-Q was received with my name as Recipient (probably because of the indirect nonsense above).  Question - on who's return does this go, and what do I need to be nervous about?  I believe it is for her, but not sure - this is the major concern as it means a big hit!  Help is appreciated.


Thanks!
