Question

Can i deduct NextGen 529 contributions on the Maine State income taxes? Everything I'm reading online says yes, however i can't get TurboTax online to get me there.

I realize that 529 contributions are not eligible for a Federal deduction but from what i understand they are deductible on State of Maine income tax return. However, TurboTax has never prompted me to input this information and i refuse to upgrade to the "Live" version to get this resolved, as it appears to be a glitch/error on their end. Anyone dealt with this or have a workaround? Thanks.

    Your contributions to the Maine 529 plan comes up as you go through your Maine return.  Look for the screen titled, Any Other Income Subtractions.  Then, check the box beside Contributions to Qualified Tuition Programs.  That will allow you to enter your information.
