All I can find is how to enter information to fund a 529 account by deducting a portion of a refund.

it's not done through the federal return

To enter 2025 contributions to a Virginia 529 account in TurboTax, follow these steps:
Navigate to the "Here's the income that Virginia handles differently" screen.
Scroll down to the "Education" section.
Click "Start" next to the Commonwealth Savers (Section 529) Plan.
Enter the necessary information for the contributions made to the Virginia 529 account.
This process will allow you to deduct the contributions on your Virginia state return, potentially resulting in a tax deduction of up to $4,000 per account per year. If the contributions exceed this limit, any amount above the $4,000 limit can be carried forward to future tax years.
