Does Turbotax support 529 contributions for Illinois? I cannot find where to enter the information and the program did not prompt for it (not asking about deductions)

  • Under Education, click on Start for "College savings and prepaid tuition plan contributions"
  • On the next page, "College Savings and Prepaid Tuition Plans", enter your 2021 529 plan contribution amount in the box for "Bright Start College Savings Pool", If the contribution is a gift, check the box, and click on Continue button
