Q.  Can I claim my contributions to a 529 savings plan on my Virginia taxes?

A. Yes.

There is no federal deduction for making a contribution to a 529 plan. Some states, including VA,  allow a deduction on the state return. If your state is one, it will come up in the state interview; usually in the "Here's how (your state) handles income differently" section.
