I used some of my early IRA withdrawal to pay for my son's college tuition. Does this count as a higher education expense to help lower my early withdrawal penalty?

How is this entered into TurboTax?

[dboll21423]

is this only waiving the early withdrawal penalty? what about paying tuition for a qualify dependent with the money you took out of your ira

Yes. The amount that you paid for your son's qualified education expenses can be used to help reduce the early withdrawal penalty from your IRA.
