Client received a 1099Q for ...

Good morning:

My client received a 1099Q for a distribution for his Granddaughter's (the beneficiary) from a state 529 plan he contributed to.  The Gross distribution was $17,000,earnings $6,132 and basis $10,867.

I input this information on the 1099Q worksheet.  I checked the box beneficiary was some else and checked my client (taxpayer) was the recipient.  Also on this worksheet I double clicked the line which said "If the designated beneficiary is someone else, double click to link this 1099Q to the applicable Qualified education exp worksheet". Do I have to find out next what her expenses were in order for the $6,132 not to be taxable to my client? 

Thank you in advance for your help.

You should find a link to the Other Student Expenses worksheet at the bottom of the 1099Q worksheet, you can enter the granddaughters info and school expenses there.

Yes, you also need to put her name and SS on the education expense worksheet
