I've completed my Michigan state return and line 17 is empty in my 1040 Schedule 1. I cannot find anything in the state return section of TurboTax where I enter my contribution. Please help.

Thanks for the quick reply. I couldn't get that link to work and I believe it is out of date. When I go to my Michigan income section it says, "Here's the income that Michigan handles differently" but only lists 2 options: "Capital Gains and Losses" and "Tribal Income". Nowhere can I find 529 plans. Any ideas? Thx!

I just figured this out, so hopefully it will help others. I am a nonresident, so I did not get the prompt to enter 529 contributions.

What I had to do was change my status to full year resident. Then, in the income section, it allowed me to enter the 529 contributions I made. I then changed my status back to nonresident and I confirmed that the deduction from my 529 contribution remained.
