We liquidated a coverdell esa but did not have any educational expenses. The 1099q received shows total distribution of $4400, earnings of $0, basis of $0, and FMV of $0. We contributed $2,000 to this account from 1998 to 2001 and have never taken distributions from it. I can't find worksheet 7-3 Coverdell ESA - Taxable Distributions and Basis to enter the correct information so that our contributions are subtracted from the distribution to determine the taxable amount. Can anyone help? Thanks!

In the 1099-Q section, when asked Who's the Student, select the option This distribution was not used to pay any education expenses.
Enter Form 1099-Q exactly how it appears. Continue to the next screen This Coverdell ESA. In the second box Basis in this Coverdell ESA Account as of December 31, 2016 enter $2,000. Select No, for the next questions. You should see $2,400 appear on Line 21 of your tax return. This amount is taxable income.
