Mom received 1099-Q with her name social security number on it.
Son has a 1098-T. Mom claims son & education expenses on her return.
We have her in ProSeries Pro as the 'recipient' and son as the 'designated beneficiary" on the 1099-Q worksheet.
1098-T is linked to 1099-Q in Proseries Pro.
Education expense is $8800. Earnings (box 2) on 1099-Q is $9050. Mom is being taxed on total amount of earnings. There is also a 10% penalty on only a portion of the earnings which is calculating correctly. Why is she being taxed on total earnings earnings. This doesn't seem to be correct.
The education expense of $8800. are not being used to offset the earnings however, it does calculate correctly for the 10% penalty.
Why is it not calculating correctly?
