Coverdell ESA to 529 rollover
I am the owner and beneficiary of a Coverdell ESA with less than <$10,000 total. I could not use these as qualified education expenses for myself, so I created a 529 with my spouse as the beneficiary and performed an indirect rollover, with the intention to use these funds as qualified education expenses on her student loans.
1) Do I need to report this on our joint return since, ultimately, the funds were used as qualified expenses for my spouse's student loans?
2) I see no Distribution Transfer option to indicate the indirect 529 rollover after inputting my CESA information - it only asks if it was rolled over to another CESA within 60 days. Where would I indicate the indirect rollover to the 529? I am using Turbotax Premier 2022 desktop.
