529 Taxable Income
Follow the S/S number. If it was the parents; it means they took money out of reasons other than education of the son. Earnings go on line 21 and also on form 5329 if parent is under 59 1/2. Sorry for the bad news. Go to IRS Web Site and read Pub 970, pages 43 to 53. There is a tax work sheet on these pages.
