1099-Q How to leave box 2 (Earnigns) and box 3 (Basis) blank?
1099-Q gross distrubution, from the IRS (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1099q.pdf) "If earnings and basis are not reported for Coverdell ESA distributions, leave boxes 2 and 3 blank. Do not enter zero". Turbo Tax does not allow box 2 (Earnings) and box 3 (Basis) to be blank. Their sum must be equal to box 1 (Gross distribution). My 1099-Q does not report box 2 and box 3, how do I bypass this error. Also, this was allowed in last year (tax year 2024) Turbo Tax.
