529 Plan State Tax

When choosing a 529 college savings plan for the college-bound student in your life, you'll need to consider a variety of tax-related issues. For example, you'll want to determine whether you can claim any state tax benefits if you contribute to your state's 529 plan, and what the value of those tax benefits may be. Note also that a few states allow deductions when you contribute to out-of-state 529 savings plans.
