State tax filing

Hi,

I contributed to a Maryland 529 Plan last year. The plan is owned by a friend of mine and the beneficiary is her daughter, neither of whom I am related to. I am a Maryland resident. Can I claim the deduction on my Maryland taxes for my contribution even if the plan is not mine? I ask because the first question asked when going into the "Maryland College Savings Plan Contributions" is "Do you have one of the College Savings Plans listed above?". I don't have one of the plans personally, but I did contribute to one.
