It is not compulsory to enter the 1099-Q.  Just keep the 1099-Q and the financial records that you used to prepare your return.  You can completely remove the 1099-Q entry and add you own figures to get the correct amount of taxes that are owed (if any).

 

There is actually NO reason to enter the 1099 Q into TurboTax unless 1- you don't know if you have taxable income and you need help from the program to figure it out or 2 - you have taxable income to report.  (the form itself even tells you this in the second sentence of instructions for recipient).
