How do I report my Form 1099-Q, Payments From Qualified Education Programs?

You should receive a copy of Form 1099-Q if you received a distribution or withdrew funds from from a qualified tuition program or if you are the trustee of a Coverdell Education Savings Account. Only some of these withdrawals are taxable.

Do I need to report this as income?

If you used all of the distribution reported to you in Box 1 of Form 1099-Q to pay for qualifying education expenses, you don’t need to report this as other income. Simply keep this form for your records.
