Thank you! Will I only then be responsible for federal and state income tax related to the amount of the early IRA distribution?


Right.  When you file your 1099-R, turbotax will note that you are under age 59-1/2 and will ask if any exceptions apply.  Select higher education.  You don't need to submit proof to the IRS (like tuition bills) when you file, but keep your proof for 6 years in case of audit.
