Enter the 1099-Q exactly how it appears. Make sure the amounts in each box on the form matches the same amounts and box entries in TurboTax.
Next, enter tuition information reported on your 1098-T. Your 1098-T is usually available on your school's portal. It may be listed under tax documents. Then enter ALL education expenses in the 1098-T section in TurboTax. This includes tuition, books, room & board, supplies, and fees.
As long as the education expenses (after grants or scholarships are deducted) are equal to or more than the 1099-Q total distribution, then you will not pay tax on the 1099-Q distribution.
