Where do I report 1099-Q earnings within TurboTax?

[DawnC]

You don't have to report it if it is not taxable.   Where do I enter a 1099-Q?

If the distribution doesn’t exceed the amount of the student's qualifying expenses, then you don't have to report any of the distribution as income on your tax return. If the distribution exceeds these expenses, then you must report the earnings on the excess as "other income" on your tax return. When you pay a student’s school expenses with these funds, you cannot claim a tuition deduction or either of the educational tax credits for the same expense.

I need to report the earnings, as other income, I just didn't see where to do that in the income section. Also, it seems like TurboTax should have a list of ALL 1099's. Then I could have selected 1099-Q and got on with it.
