To clarify, my situation was very similar. I paid education cost from 529 account where I am the recipient and in which I received a 1099Q. My son (the beneficiary) who I cannot claim as a dependent because he earned more than 1/2 of his yearly living expenses received a 1098T for the same exact amount. Note: The amount for both are exactIy the same and used for his school tuition. As the Parent, I entered only the 1099Q per the interview and referenced my son as the beneficiary. I did not enter any information that's on the 1098T, nor did I fill out the that 1098T. From your previous comment, I should be able to enter the 1099Q in my tax return and that TT won't do anything with it. So, what am I doing wrong? I am not sure how to enter the 1099Q without getting that error? Should I just delete the 1099Q entirely and leave it at that? But...if I do that, I am still uneasy that the IRS may see my return lacking in not accounting for the large withdrawal, and may take it as an unqualified education withdrawal.
