Instructions for Recipient
Account number. May show an account or other unique number the payer has assigned to distinguish your account. Box 1. Shows the gross distribution (including in-kind distributions) paid to you this year from a qualified tuition program (QTP), under section 529, or a Coverdell ESA (CESA), under section 530. This amount is the total of the amounts shown in box 2 and box 3. See Pub. 970 for more information. Caution: For CESA distributions (other than earnings on excess contributions) made during 2008, the payer/trustee is not required to report amounts in boxes 2 and 3. Instead, the payer/trustee may report the fair market value of the CESA as of December 31, 2008, in the blank box below boxes 5 and 6. To figure your earnings and basis, use the Coverdell ESA--Taxable Distributions and Basis worksheet in Pub. 970. Box 2. Shows the earnings part of the gross distribution shown in box 1. Generally, amounts distributed are included in income unless they are used to pay for qualified education expenses, transferred between trustees, or rolled over to another qualified education program within 60 days. Report taxable amounts as "Other Income" on Form 1040. Under a QTP, the amount in box 2 is included in income if there has been (a) more than one transfer or rollover within any 12-month period with respect to the same beneficiary, or (b) a change in the designated beneficiary and the new designated beneficiary is not a family member. Under a CESA, the amount in box 2 is included in income if there has been a change in the designated beneficiary and the new designated beneficiary is not a family member or is over age 30 (except for beneficiaries with special needs). Also, an additional 10% tax may apply to part or all of any amount included in income from the CESA or QTP. See Form 5329 and your tax return instructions for more information. If a final (total) distribution is made from your account and you have not recovered your contributions, you may have a deductible loss. If you itemize, claim any loss on the "Other expenses" line of Schedule A (Form 1040), Itemized Deductions. Box 3. Shows your basis in the gross distribution reported in box 1. Box 4. This box is checked if you transferred the amount in box 1 from one education program to another education program in a trustee-to-trustee transfer. However, this box may not be checked if the transfer was made from a CESA. Box 5. Shows whether the gross distribution was from a QTP (private or state) or from a CESA. Distribution codes. For 2008, the payer/trustee may, but is not required to, report (in the box below boxes 5 and 6) one of the following codes to identify the distribution you received: 1--Distributions (including transfers); 2--Excess contributions plus earnings taxable in 2008; 3--Excess contributions plus earnings taxable in 2007; 4--Disability; 5--Death; 6--Prohibited transaction. Note: Nontaxable distributions from CESAs and QTPs, including rollovers, are not required to be reported on your income tax return. See Pub. 970 for more information.
