• Individuals receiving payments from a Coverdell Education Savings Account or 529 Plan receive a Form 1099-Q.

  • The form indicates the amount received from the account in gross distributions for the reporting year.
  • Form 1099-Q must be completed and mailed to taxpayers by officials or employees who oversee a program established by a public or qualified educational institution, or by any person who has made a 529 distribution.
  • Individual taxpayers receiving a Form 1099-Q must include information from the form on their tax return only if the distributions are taxable.
