Education

There was a workaround posted in this thread, but it only works on TT Desktop.  After entering the 1099-Q in the step-by-step section, go to forms view and specifically pick the form on the left margin called "ESA/QTP Wks (<student name>)".  Go to part 2 of the form, and it will let you enter the expenses on the proper line.  For example, room and board goes on line 7.

Once you enter the expenses here, they should carry over to the other relevant worksheets and you should see your refund balance(s) adjust to reflect that the items are now untaxable.  You can go to the step-by-step mode, and everything looks exactly the same as it did. 

There should be a fix coming out Friday, 2/13/26 that lets you do this via the step-by-step.  Notwithstanding that, this direct-to-forms workaround should do the same exact thing that the upcoming bugfix will attempt to allow via the step-by-step screen..
