529 distributions went directly to school, beneficiary is my daughter, my dependent. Entered 1098-T on my return, got educational credit. Entering 1099-Q, TT says that portion of earnings (309 of 440) is taxable and my daughter needs to file a return.

Is this portion of earnings an earned or unearned income for her?  I figure it's unearned. Please chime in. Thank you!
