I was never prompted to indicate the amount deposited to my 529 IL account when filling out my Illinois state income tax return. Is there a limit?

Is there a limit to the deduction based on income level which is the reason its not prompting the amount deposited?

To enter your Illinois 529 Plan contributions for your dependent's education in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

  • In your return, select State Taxes tab
  • Proceed through the state interview section for Illinois, answering all questions on residency and income, until you arrive at a page entitled "Here's the income that Illinois handles differently"
  • Under Education, click on Start button for "College savings and prepaid tuition plan contributions"
  • On next page, "College Savings and Prepaid Tuition Plans", enter your 2016 529 plan contribution amount in the box for "Bright Start College Savings Pool" and click on Continue button
  • Finish the rest of the interview questions for Illinois
