Education

It may save you some time and frustration to simply enter the amount that you know is taxable as "other reportable income" in the Miscellaneous income section of TurboTax.  The 1099-Q and 1098-T (expenses) forms are both informational and not required to be entered on the return.  

The TurboTax interviews are designed to help you determine the taxable amount, but in this case since you know it already entering it directly as Other reportable income will not have any negative impact.  Informational forms like the education forms aren't transmitted with the tax return data so the IRS won't see this number any differently if you enter it or if TurboTax does it for you after the interview.  

Since you know the amount already, this is the route I would advise in your case.
