I got a distribution from my daughter's Coverdell ESA to cover tutoring expenses. How do I input the expense?

You should have received a 1099-Q reporting the distribution from your Coverdell.

Here's where to report your 1099-Q

  • Type 1099-Q in the find/search box in TurboTax.
  • Click Jump to 1099-q
  • Follow the prompts to enter your distribution information.

I did receive the 1099-Q and input it.  That shows as income.  How do I record the expense that distribution went to pay?
