A 529 can be used to pay for eligible vocational or trade schools. To find out if his school is eligible and learn more, see Can You Use a 529 Plan to Pay for Trade School. These are the options:

  • If the amount you withdrew covers eligible expenses at an eligible school, then none of it is taxable. Your expenses sound reasonable, see Qualified Education Expenses - Internal Revenue Service. If none of it is taxable, you do not enter the 1099-Q.
  • If you withdrew for example- $10,000 but only $8,000 went to qualified expenses, then you would have some taxable income. 
  • If the school is not eligible, then all of it is taxable.
