Entering 1099-Q And Ensuring Non-Taxable

tccpg289
Level 4

Taxpayer (parent, MFJ) received a 1099-Q for a distribution, of which the funds were used for education purposes.

It was for their college student.

What is the proper flow of forms in ProSeries to ensure both the return of principal and earnings are not taxed? Is it required to have a 1098-T as well, or any other education cost documents for that matter?

If you certain that the qualified expenses are more than the 1099-Q, there isn't really any need to enter it anywhere.  But be prepared to show the qualifying expenses if/when the IRS sends a notice asking about it.
