State tax filing

"I am the third, non-biological, parent to my other kid"

"and he wasn't included as a child of the marriage in the divorce proceedings."

 

No, I do not think you are limited to the 1,690 for divorced parents.

 

If the child was not part of a divorce, you would not be considered that child's divorced parent. 

 

 

I cannot figure the logic of limiting a divorced parent's contribution, but there it is.  Perhaps to discourage parents from moving taxable income to the child's account simply as a tax shelter. 

 

"The 2021 annual subtraction for contributions to a Wisconsin college savings account is $3,380 ($1,690 if married filing separate or a divorced parent). This limitation applies to the person who makes a contribution to the account. A beneficiary may have multiple contributions made to their account for the year and the total of all contributions may exceed $3,380."
