Question

Where can I see my tax deduction from my $10k contribution to a state-run Illinois 529 plan?

I'm a graduate student who contributed max single filing $10k to the Illinois Bright Start 529 program. Turbo Tax provided no visibility as to whether or not I received my tax break for it.

    Contributions made to “Bright Start” and “Bright Directions” College Savings Programs and “College Illinois” Prepaid Tuition Program -go on IL Schedule M Other Additions and Subtractions for Individuals.

    Total of all addition to income transfer to Form IL-1040, Line 3.
