Education

The IRS works with calendar years.

You can adjust for it but the IRS can question it as well. 

Going forward, it is best to have the funds transferred directly to the school to avoid confusion. 

The adjustment will need to be made by you since the program is designed to work off the information on the tax forms. 

 

In your situation, you will need to adjust Box 1 on the 2022 1098-T down for the distribution reported on the 2021 1099-Q.

Keep good records in case you need to explain this to the IRS.
