Education

I've read a lot of conflicting answers to this, so just want to make sure I'm clear:

 

"You only need to report the 1099-Q when the 529 distribution is less than the total amount of tuition or if the amount is in excess of the tuition reported on the 1098-T."   

 

In my case, the 1099-Q amount IS in excess of tuition reported on 1098-T because the school (apparently) did not receive/post payment sent in late Dec 2021.

 

So the  fact that I paid for Spring 2022 tuition from 529 in 2021, but it does not show up on the 1098-T, the IRS should not give me grief about it?
