Graduate student received Form 1099-Q as recipient, but not designated beneficiary. She used the total amount for her tuition and fees. My problem is that I can't get the Lifetime Learning credit removed from her returns (double-dipping). Total brain freeze. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Reduce, even to zero, the amount of tuition payments you entered for the credit.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
