Education

Thank you so much for your responses, I really appreciate the help.

I'm still not getting the results that I believe is correct. I'll round the numbers for simplicity.

Payments made to the university are on an 1099-Q sent to my student, and being handled separately.

The 1099-Q represents a payment to me from the 529 for the value of "prepaid tuition". I expect to pay taxes on the earnings, but not be penalized.

1099-Q distribution of 17,000.  Earnings of 2000, Basis of 15000. 

 

My Schedule 1 Line 8z correctly shows the 2000 as additional income.

My Schedule 2 Line 8 incorrectly shows an additional tax of 200.

My 5329 Line 5 correctly shows the 2000 as additional income.

My 5329 Line 6 incorrectly is blank as the amount not subject to the additional tax.

 

I'm just not seeing a way to indicate that these earnings are taxable, but not subject to penalty.

Unless I manually enter the 2000 onto the Schedule 1 with the same descriptor, and remove the 1099-Q/ 5329 form,  BUT that's feels like I won't be submitting the correct forms.

Any thoughts?
