Does this still apply for 2020? I don't see a section for "education" under income.

Although contributions are not deductible, earnings in a 529 plan grow federal tax-free and will not be taxed when the money is taken out to pay for college.

The 1099-Q for the 529 plan deductions is entered in Deductions and Credits.

Here are thedirections for 1099-Q

If 529 is not deductible for Federal tax forms way is in included on the deductions sections. You are wasting the self prepared tax preparators time investigating. Please don't ad thing to the forms that are not applicable.
