529 withdrawal reporting

Sep 12, 2010 1 Replies

Hi



I funded (from after tax money) two 529s for each of my children. Each a/c was funded with $22,000 in Dec 2007 That is a total of 44,000 I withdrew all the money in 2009 Sept We have been filing married jointly.



I received two 2009 1099-Q forms Here is what they say box data



1 16,445
2 -5554
3 22000
4
5 checked state
6 checked

I don't know how to deal with this and it is the main reason I have been procrastinating on my taxes.



How to report this. I'd especially like to make sure I get some benefit in my taxes from these losses.



I use TaxCut



Thanks,



-Antony


See page 69 of IRS Publication 970. It sounds like you have a miscellaneous itemized deduction on Schedule A.

You'll need to check your state's instructions to see what, if anything, to do there.
