Is money contributed to a grandchilds future college counted as deductible

No, these contributions aren't deductible on your federal tax return. However, several states allow a deduction when you contribute to a 529 College Savings Plan. TurboTax will prompt you to enter your 529 contributions when you get to the credits/deductions portion of your state tax interview, if your state offers a deduction.
