Retirement tax questions
The Virginia State return is where these contributions are entered. You don't need a 1099-Q to enter your contributions
When you come to this page "Here's the income that Virginia handles differently"
It is under Education "Virginia College Savings Prepaid Tuition (Section 529) Plan"
When it asks if you ever had one and you say NO, you are correct, it will not allow you to enter it. Instead, mark YES.
This is what Virginia says about this deduction:
Virginia529 Account Contributions - If you are under age 70 on or before December 31 of the taxable year, enter the lesser of $4,000 or the amount contributed during the taxable year to each Virginia529 account(Virginia 529 prePAID, Virginia 529 inVEST, CollegeAmerica, CollegeWealth). If you contributed more than $4,000 per account during the taxable year, you may carry forward any undeducted amounts until the contribution has been fully deducted. However, if you are age 70 or older on or before December 31 of the taxable year, you may deduct the entire amount contributed during the taxable year. Only the owner of record for an account may claim a deduction for contributions made.
