Tax Year Prior to 2020: College Student on Turbo Tax

We are preparing our son's tax return.  He is a full time college student and we  claim him as a dependent on our tax return.  He had some employment income last year.  He also had a 1099-Q from his 529 plan, with all of that cash used to pay tuition, for which he has a 1098-T.  The problem is that when we prepare his tax return, he is getting taxed on the 529-Q earnings because we said he is being declared as our dependent.  What should we do?
