Education

Thank you so much.  As the account owner, I requested distributions so that my son is the recipient and 1099-Q Box 6 is not checked. I want to make sure I have this right  – my son would not enter the 1098-T or 1099-Qs and he would follow your Less Common Income instructions. Does entering “Scholarship” trigger the appropriate worksheet? It is other taxable income, but certainly not a scholarship.  
Pub 970 calls it   “distributed earnings not used for adjusted qualified education expenses”.
