You say " I am able to get the 1099Q into the return". The answers assume you meant 1098-T.
Form 1098-T, not 1099-Q, is what you enter to claim the education credit. The 1099-Q is for a distribution from a 529 or ESA plan and usually does not need to be entered, at all, unless you know some of it is taxable because the amount of the distribution exceeds qualified expenses (after adjusting for the turion credit or tax free scholarships).
