Up until 2024, I was able to enter the non-dependent education expenses which would immediately remove the tax liability on the earnings part of the 1099-Q. For 2025, the interview section of education expenses is missing. Without entering the expenses, I would be unnecessarily paying tax on the earnings part of the 1099-Q. Please advise...</P> Wed, 11 Feb 2026 22:27:55 GMT Maheshk 2026-02-11T22:27:55Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/unable-to-enter-non-dependent-education-expenses/01/3772087#M1401480 <P>I see 2 other posts with same issue as mine. 1099-Q was always under my name as the account owner. 1098-T was always under my non-dependent son's name.

The question becomes, is there a taxable distribution or did all of it go to qualified expenses like room and board along with educational expenses?</P> <UL> <LI>If it is not taxable: <A href="https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-publication-970" target="_blank">IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education</A> states:<I> If the entire 1099-Q went to qualified expenses, room and board, tuition, etc then you do not need to enter the form.&nbsp;Tuition paid for the first 3 months of the next year also qualify, see page 12, What Expenses Qualify, and&nbsp;page 52 for qualified distributions.</I></LI> <LI>If it is taxable, you should enter the form. You will need to enter the qualified expenses. Be sure to select that you had expenses other &nbsp;than tuition - if you covered room and board.&nbsp;</LI> </UL> Wed, 11 Feb 2026 23:11:04 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-unable-to-enter-non-dependent-education-expenses/01/3772177#M1401513 AmyC 2026-02-11T23:11:04Z
