I am not being prompted to enter contributions to my MESP, Michigan's education 529 plan. Can you help?

Contributions are deductible for Michigan income tax purposes up to $5,000 per year for a single income tax return filer and $10,000 per year for joint filers. Incoming rollovers from another 529 account, however, are not eligible for the tax deduction.  https://www.misaves.com/plan/details.shtml
