Education

Just not entering it is the best option.  But, if you still want to doo it, it's actually easier in your situation (the student-beneficiary is not your dependent).

Enter the 1099-Q. When asked who the student is answer: someone else not listed here).  Enter the student's name when asked.  A few screens later, you'll get one simple screen to enter expenses. Press Done at the 1099-Q summary screen, to get there. You do not have to deal with the complicated “Educational expenses and Scholarships” (1098-T) section ("tuition screens") later.
