I am having trouble with entering turbotax and am not sure I am entitled to the Lifetime Learning Credit. Here is the scenario:

 

My parents set up a 529 plan for me years ago and I started part-time graduate studies in Fall 2021, but also currently taking Spring 2022 courses (which were paid by the plan in Dec. 2021).  I had the money go directly to the college from the plan.  When the plan issued the 1099Q (to me), they issued it for $8,400, which was the total distribution for the Fall and Spring Semesters ($4,200 x 2); however, the college issued the 1098T (to me) for $4,200 (for only the Fall semester).

 

It is my understanding that I would not pay any taxes on this distribution.  However, how do it enter it in turbotax  so that I am not having to include income? 

 

Also, would I be entitled to any Lifetime Learning Credit?

 

Thanks.
