It isn't listed in the taxes and credits section and there is no where for me to enter this information

I'm not specifically familiar with IA software. The following is a "generic" answer.

There is no federal deduction for making a contribution to a 529 plan. Some states allow a deduction on the state return. If your state is one, it will come up in the state interview; usually in the "Here's how (your state) handles income differently" section. 

For a state list of eligible plans, see:
