Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi @CatinaT1, sorry for the different username. Somehow it's no longer allowing me to post from the same one I did a couple of weeks ago. We are in DC and want to make a max contribution to the DC College Savings Plan 529, but we file separately on a joint return like the original poster (a quirk of DC tax law, I understand, rather than jointly). My question is whether my wife and I each need to set up a separate 529 to make the max $4000 contribution this year or if we can open a single 529 and contribute the full $8000 to take advantage of this year's deduction. Thank you!
