As previously stated, you can just not report the 1099-Q, at all, if your student-beneficiary has sufficient educational expenses, including room & board to cover the distribution. That's encouraged by the IRS.
There's also a workaround.
Instead of entering the educational expenses in the education expenses section, enter it in the 1099-Q section of TT. The workaround is: when asked who is the student, check "someone else not listed here" (Lying to TurboTax to get it to do what you want does not constitute lying to the IRS). On the next screen, enter the real student's name. This will eventually give you one simple screen to enter all expenses. Press Done at the 1099-Q summary screen, to get there.
