Thanks for the response. Here are the specifics in my case:

College beneficiary is claimed as a dependent on parents tax return

1099-Q

1. came in beneficiaries name as it was sent directly to school from 529 plan. From what you replied before, this needs to be filed on beneficiary tax return?

Box 1- 28328 - This seems to include a distribution that is for spring 2021 costs. 2020 expenses would be half of this.

Box 2 - 2120.73

Box 3 26207.27

If this is placed on beneficiary tax filing what will be tax impact? Is the Box 1 distribution considered income? And since it includes charges for 2021 put paid in 2020 can these be reduced/

1098-T

1. Came in students name. This should be filed on parent return?
