There's no 529 deduction on your federal return, and Texas has no income tax.  So there's nothing for you to input regarding your 529 plan.

I am having the same problem with Georgia.    I have clicked on every button.    I do not see a message that says how to handle Georgia differently and I do not have a State Tax Interview.    Tried the help section but it said nothing.    I don't want to call.  I have done that before and the person was just giving answers that I could have found in the help section.   Can anyone here help me?   I must be missing something here.  Thanks!

If you are using the TurboTax software for the state of Georgia you do have a state interview.  In the section of the Georgia state program on the screen labeled Here's the income that Georgia handles differently under the section for Education, on Path2College Savings Plan Contributions, click on the start button.

I am having the same problem on my New York state portion in turbo tax. The education part is there but there is no box to click to add the info. Any ideas how to enter this? Is it a Turbo Tax online bug that needs fixing? Thanks!

This a possible deduction on State return(s) only.  The deduction for placing money in a 529 plan is allowed on most, if not all, state returns.  It is not a deduction on the federal return.

• NY State Instructions for line 30 - 529 Contributions (and withdrawals if applicable)
• CO State Instructions for CollegeInvest 529 Contributions (page 12)

Continue to check the availability for each state since it's early for some to be completely ready for filing in every way.

There's no 529 deduction on your federal return. However, some states let you deduct all or part of your 529 plan contributions.

If your state is one of those states, we'll prompt you to enter your 529 contributions when you get to the credits and deductions portion of your state taxes.

Which state return are you filing?

This doesnt work.

I click on Revisit, and Turbo Tax says I dont have any Tuition Account Refunds in Federal Income.

click continue and it take me back to the 

Heres how Virginia handles income differently.

I didnt have any income. I made contributions... which in the past have always been deductible in Virginia

[LenaH]

If you click on Virginia 529 or ABLEnow Distribution or Refund, it will be followed by the screen about tuition account refunds in federal income.

However, you have to choose the option above it - Virginia College Savings Prepaid Tuition (Section 529) Plan. I have attached a screenshot of the line item below. There is no income requirement for Virginia's 529 plan deduction. 

Please click Start or Revisit next to this line item and enter the applicable information.

I already did my taxes.  But I need to amend them, because I need to enter my 529 contribution.  I live in New Mexico but can’t find the place to enter it and was never prompted to enter it.  Can someone help me.
