Q.   What do you advise so that I can submit my returns?

A.  Delete the 1098-T and 1099-Q.  This assumes that none of the 1099-Q is taxable. 

 

The 1099-Q is only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your (or your student's) tax return.  On form 1099-Q, instructions to the recipient reads: "Nontaxable distributions from CESAs and QTPs are not required to be reported on your income tax return. You must determine the taxability of any distribution." 

 

The 1098-T is also only an informational document. The numbers on it are not required to be entered onto your (or the student's)  tax return. Receipt of a 1098-T sometimes means you are either eligible for a tuition credit or possibly your student has taxable scholarship income.  It appears you have neither.
