1099Q and 1098-T Question
I am a student and beneficiary of a 529. I was given a 1099Q to file and I am fairly confident that given my understanding of qualified education expenses that the gross distribution exceeds the qualified amount. I want to file properly and pay the penalty but I am confused where I am supposed to enter other education expenses. On the 1098-T there is the scholarship I received, the tuition I paid, and I see pages asking about room, board, and textbooks directly required by the school and notes from turbotax saying "Don't include expenses you didn't pay directly to your school here. We’ll add those separately." But I cannot find where to add those expenses. It seems to me that turbotax is counting the entire 1099Q as qualified and not prompting anywhere to fix this.
Thank you for your understanding and patience
