Can I deduct contributions to a 529 plan?

No, not on your federal taxes. However, some states let you deduct all or part of your 529 plan contributions.

If your state is one of those states, we'll prompt you to enter your 529 contributions when you get to the credits and deductions portion of your state taxes.
