Error in Wisconsin software for 529 plan
I found an error in the WI state tax software concerning entering contributions to Edvest - WI 529 plan.
WI allows a deduction of up to $3340 per beneficiary for deductions to the 529 plan. When you enter your contribution amount in the software it is supposed to accurately deduct it from your WI income. The figure is transferred to Schedule CS in part 1. Then line 3 is supposed to show $3340 and compare it to your contribution and deduct the smaller of the two however it does not. It seems to put in $3000 so if you contributed more than that you would lose out on part of the deduction.
You can correct it manually by opening Schedule CS but the program should do that automatically.
I-have reported this to TT and hopefully it will be fixed but wanted to give a heads up if anyone has this happen to them.
