Does a 529 plan cover educational expenses without a 1098T?
My son took a course at an accredited university the summer of 2020 (In between his junior and senior year in high school). At first they charged us for the course but then credited it back. His university transcript shows the course as completed. We used the 529 plan to pay for a laptop so that he could take the online course. I have received the 1099-Q for that. However, the university does not need to send us a 1098T. When entering all the information into TT, I'm still being taxed on that distribution for his laptop. I have followed the instructions for having not received the 1098T and filled in tuition as $0. So, I'm wondering if it's either TT doesn't have this scenario worked into it (no tuition + distribution) or I'm not eligible to take that distribution tax free even though he was enrolled at a university for a single course?
