Question
When I have a 1099-Q present, it won't allow an Educator Expense deduction. Any way to work around?
Taxpayer has a 1099-Q for a 529 distribution. All funds used for qualified personal educational expenses. Taxpayer is a teacher, and wants to claim $300 Educator expense deduction for supplies purchased for classroom use. When the 1099-Q is input, the educator expense deduction disappears. When the 1099-Q is deleted, the educator expense is allowed. How can we work around this to get the deduction, and to also report the 1099-Q received and being used for qualified educational expenses so it is not taxable?
