You do not need the beneficiary's Social Security number in order to claim a contribution to the Connecticut Higher Education Trust (CHET).     You can enter this information in your state return by going through the income section on the page titled 'Here's the income that Connecticut handles differently'.  Then under the Education category, find CHET Contributions and click Start to enter your information.

Did this and got no assistance, no help.  Waste of time and energy.   Personally, I am done with TurboTax promising one free state and then double charging me, but this year charging me $80.00 to file one state return for my daughter.  That is way out of line.  I let go the additional $25 every year for several years now.  For 2026, they have really stepped up the level of fraudulent fees charged to credit cards.  I see and was even told to use the key words "billing issue" and got nothing, nada.  This is a scam and nothing else can be concluded by this breach of contract, breach of trust, breach of product confidence. 

Do you mean online Premium---there is no online Premier.     Premier is desktop software.     When you use online TurboTax software you get one return per fee.   Each return needs its own email, account and user ID.   If you use the same account and user ID for a second return, the second one overwrites the first return and it is lost forever.   https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/using-turbotax/help/how-do-i-start-another-return-in-turbotax-online/00/25596 https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/file-your-own-taxes/  

Also if  you wanted the fees deducted from your refund there is an EXTRA $40 Pay with Refund service charge.  So it could add  up.    If you want to avoid the state efile fees you can print and mail state for free.
