I had the 529 distribution paid to me (parent) and then I paid the university.
The 1099Q shows me as the recipient. The total payment minus education credit was well above the distribution amount. If I enter the 1099Q into TT and choose myself as "Who is shown as the recipient" TT makes the amount taxable. If I choose my son it is not taxable. To my knowledge I should not be paying any tax here but it seems TT is not really making it clear given the information I have.
