Note: The draft you are looking for begins on the next page.

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING

This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms and do
not rely on draft forms, instructions, and pubs for filing. We incorporate all
significant changes to forms posted with this coversheet. However, unexpected
issues occasionally arise, or legislation is passed—in this case, we will post a
new draft of the form to alert users that changes were made to the previously
posted draft. Thus, there are never any changes to the last posted draft of a
form and the final revision of the form. Forms and instructions are subject to
OMB approval before they can be officially released, so we post drafts of them
until they are approved. Drafts of instructions and pubs usually have some
additional changes before their final release. Early release drafts are at
IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the final release is posted at
IRS.gov/LatestForms. Also see IRS.gov/Forms.
Most forms and publications have a page on IRS.gov: IRS.gov/Form1040 for
Form 1040; IRS.gov/Pub501 for Pub. 501; IRS.gov/W4 for Form W-4; and
IRS.gov/ScheduleA for Schedule A (Form 1040), for example, and similarly for
other forms, pubs, and schedules for Form 1040. When typing in a link, type it
into the address bar of your browser, not a Search box on IRS.gov.
If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms,
instructions, or pubs at IRS.gov/FormsComments. Include “NTF” followed by the
form or pub number (for example, “NTF1040”, “NTFW4”, “NTF501, etc.) in the
body of the message to route your message properly. We cannot respond to all
comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to consider
many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product, but we will
review each “NTF” message. If you have comments on reducing paperwork and
respondent (filer) burden, with respect to draft or final forms, please respond to
the relevant information collection through the Federal Register process; for
more info, click here.

For Recipient

This is important tax
information and is
being furnished to
the IRS. If you are
required to file a return,
a negligence penalty
or other sanction may
be imposed on you
if this income is
taxable and the IRS
determines that it has
not been reported.

Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Instructions for Recipient
Distributions from Coverdell education savings accounts (CESAs) under section 530
and qualified tuition programs (QTPs) under section 529, including rollovers, may be
taxable. Nontaxable distributions from CESAs and QTPs are not required to be
reported on your income tax return. You must determine the taxability of any
distribution. See Pub. 970 and the Instructions for Forms 1040 and 1040-SR for more
information. Also see Form 5329 and its separate instructions.
Recipient’s taxpayer identification no. (TIN). For your protection, this form may
show only the last four digits of your TIN (SSN, ITIN, ATIN, or EIN). However, the payer
or trustee has reported your complete TIN to the IRS.
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 QTP or a CESA. This amount is the total of the amounts shown in boxes 2
and 3. See Pub. 970 for more information.
Caution: For CESA distributions (other than earnings on excess contributions) made during
the calendar year, 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
of the calendar year 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.

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, see Pub. 970 to determine if you have a deductible loss and how to
claim it.
Box 3. Shows your basis in the gross distribution reported in box 1.
Box 4. This box is checked if a trustee-to-trustee transfer was made from one QTP to
another QTP, from one CESA to another CESA, from a CESA to a QTP, from a QTP to
an ABLE account, or from a QTP to a Roth IRA maintained for the benefit of the QTP
beneficiary. However, in certain transfers from a CESA, the box will be blank.
Box 5. Shows whether the gross distribution was from a QTP (private or state) or from
a CESA.
Box 6. The designated beneficiary is the individual named in the document creating
the trust or custodial account to receive the benefit of the funds in the account. If you
are not the designated beneficiary, see Pub. 970 and the Instructions for Forms 1040
and 1040-SR.
Distribution codes. For the calendar year, 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 the calendar year; 3—Excess contributions plus earnings
taxable in the prior calendar year; 4—Disability; 5—Death; or 6—Prohibited transaction.
Future developments. For the latest information about developments related to Form
1099-Q and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go

Box 2. Shows the earnings part of the gross distribution shown in box 1. Generally,
amounts distributed that are used to pay for qualified education expenses, transferred
between trustees, or rolled over to another qualified education program or to an ABLE
account, within 60 days, are not included in income.
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.
