Where can I enter my Virginia 529 contributions?

Unlike year's past, I can't find it under the "Here's the income that Virginia handles differently" under Income.

The 529 contributions remain in the "Here's the income that Virginia handles differently" page. This is how you can enter your Virginia 529 contributions:

 

  1. Navigate to the Virginia section of TurboTax (State Taxes > Your State Returns > Virginia)
  2. Continue until you arrive at the page with the heading "Here's the income that Virginia handles differently"
  3. Page down to Education
  4. Select "Start" Commonwealth Savers (Section 529) Plan
  5. On the next page, answer "yes" to the question "Have You Ever Had a Virginia 529 Account or Prepaid Tuition Plan?"
  6. Answer the question about the year(s) of contribution
  7. Lastly, enter your 529 account info and activity

Here is some more information on deducting 529 contributions: 529 Plans and Taxes: Deductions, Tax-Free Withdrawals & More

Thanks for the quick reply.  I am not seeing that as an option.  Any idea why that might be?

It is at the very top, highlighted in blue in your screenshot.   It shows $2k entered.   When you enter an income adjustment, it moves to the very top of the list.
