Education

It is important to enter all the income, then the Form 1099-Q, and then the Expenses and Scholarships ( Form 1099-T section. 

If it is entered out of order, the system may be reserving $10,000 of educational expenses toward an education credit, either American Opportunity Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit.  You may want to see if that leads to qualify for a credit, but if it does not, or if it will cause part of your 529 distribution to become taxable, then yes, it is fine to change that field to zero or the amount of qualified expenses that were more than the 529 distribution.

Also, if room and board were paid from the 529 distribution, please go back through the Education Credit section and be sure those were entered.  That is not a qualifying expense for the Education credits but can be used with 529 funds. 

This information cannot be changed in the original return after you file and you should wait until the return is either accepted or rejected.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to modify before you resubmit.   

If your return is accepted, you can amend, or correct, your return if the original entries need correction. There is no additional charge to use Turbo Tax to amend your federal or state return but you will need to wait until the IRS and your state have finished processing the original return. You do not want two copies of your return there at the same time and sometimes they make adjustments.  

This is a TurboTax Help article with some Do's and Do nots of amending.
