College Tuition - 1099-Q Problem - Forcing Taxable Income

[silver607885]

We have a 529 plan for my daughter.  She got a gross distribution of about $6,600 and 100% was used for qualified college education expenses.  So it shouldn't be taxable.  But TurboTax is including it in her income.  Why isn't there a box to check representing this was used for qualified expenses so it's non-taxable?

FWIW - This is my third year of 529 distributions and TT seems to push it into taxable income by default w/o giving a simple item like this:

"Check this box if all funds were used for qualified tuition expenses"

Why can't you do this?  Am I missing something.

As an aside I just go directly to Forms.  Please don't tell me to go through the whole walk through process to get this done.  She's got a really simple tax situation and it seems like a waste of time to have to trudge through the interview process.  Sigh.

If the 1099-Q distribution was used entirely for Qualified Education Expenses, you are not required to enter it in her return.
