Yes, you generally need to report the 1099-Q on your tax return.

Key Points:

  • Form 1099-Q: Reports distributions and benefits from Coverdell education savings accounts and 529 plans. It's reported on the tax return of the person whose Social Security number is on the form.
  • Qualified Education Expenses: Since the $22,000 distribution was used for your daughter's tuition, it is generally not taxable.
  • Taxability: When you enter the 1099-Q, TurboTax will help you determine taxability and only report any taxable income.

Steps to Report 1099-Q in TurboTax:

  1. Open or continue your return.
  2. Cick Form 1099-Q.
  3. Follow the screens to enter your info.
