I just entered information into my Turbo Tax Illinois State tax form. The last couple of years, the interview asked about 529 deductions but this year nothing came up. I made a deduction to Brightstar (Illinois 529 program) but nothing shows up in the Illinois form about this. I checked with the Illinois Dept of Revenue and it shows that such contributions are still deductible. So how come it isn't showing up in Turbo Tax Illinois?
