I have googled this and I just cannot get a direct answer to this question. Are any of the contributions tax deductible?

I put $4800/yr into each of my kids 529b accounts. It's just a 529b setup on vanguard and I deposit $200/check per kid.

I have seen that both they are and they aren't, and that each state has their own set of rules.

In MD it appears to be $2500/yr you can deduct, however they also have their own state sponsored 529b thing.


On that page right there it says you can deduct $2500/yr per kid.

But the thing I am not sure about is, is it ONLY 529b accounts that are through the state thing like that? Or is it just any old 529b for state residents that can be deducted?

I haven't been able to find a straight up yes/no answer to this.

It is a mess because each state has their own rules. Things like this would work so much better on the national level so all rules/laws/policies are the same. But, alas, that is not the situation that we have. I don't know Maryland rules, so I can only help google. A MD tax preparer would know best.

From both Maryland529 and Vanguard, it looks to me that the Vanguard accounts are not state tax deductible. The one thing that I do know is that they aren't federal tax deductible.

Thanks, it looks like you are correct. I hadn't found that on Vanguard's site

Part of the problem is their god damn plan is called "Maryland 529" so when I'm reading that, it just reads like having a 529 plan in MD, or it could be the "Maryland 529" plan.

I just wanted to be sure before I filed because that would be a nice little deduction if I could do it.
