Education
After entering the 1099-Q, you enter the college expenses separately. TurboTax (TT) will match them up. In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
Federal Taxes Tab
Deductions & Credits
-Scroll down to:
--Education
--Education Expenses
Alternatively; you can just not report the
1099-Q, at all, if your student-beneficiary has sufficient educational
expenses, including room & board (even if he lives at home) to cover the
distribution. You would still have to do the math to see if there were enough
expenses left over for you to claim the tuition credit. You cannot double dip.
