Yes and no. The yes part is MESP states: A Michigan taxpayer is permitted a deduction from Michigan adjusted gross income for a contribution to an account less any Qualified Withdrawals made during the tax year. Amounts transferred from another 529 college savings plan are not eligible for the Michigan income tax deduction.
MI sch 1 line 17 shows allowed amounts.
The maybe no part for the subtraction, the MI-1040 Book with forms states:
NOTE: Nonresidents and part-year residents, subtract only income attributable to Michigan (Schedule NR, column B) that is not included on line 13.
The program will allow it the deduction it just requires you to be diligent and know you deserve it.
To get the contribution to appear:
- Change the residency status of one person to resident.
- Go to income and enter the MESP
- continue to overview
- Change residency status back to nonresident.
- The MESP will show under income MI handles differently
