If you make a contribution, then perhaps find out that the student had another account and your contribution was over the limit. You would need to pull that contribution out as a distribution.
So, you take a distribution to remove those funds.
Then you get a 1099-Q.
If you answer "Yes" that distribution was to remove the contribution you shouldn't have made, the refund goes up because the distribution is not taxable.
If you answer "No" and it was not used for education expense of the student, the refund will go down because the distribution is taxable.
