How do i report 529 carry over contributions

[alvilla4]

I have over contributions to my 529 from previous years that I have not reported as deductions yet.  How do I report this carry over contribution for this year's tax return?

Contributions made to a 529 plan are entered as part of your state return.  Each state has different rules regarding carryover contributions, but if your state allows a carryover then the entry should be part of the 529 contributions page in your state return.  

If you are having difficulty finding that exact entry, please share the state you are filing and someone can guide you to the right place.
