Did your son report form 1098-T and any other education expenses on his return?

 

If your son is claiming himself and he is not a dependent on someone's return, he will report form 1099-Q and all the qualified education expenses on his return.

Distributions on form 1099-Q are not taxable if they are used to pay qualifying education expense.

  1. Go to Federal Taxes,
