Retirement tax questions

I worked this through my own program and was able to get the $4800 full deduction for the Start program. Go to your Louisiana State return and see if you answered these questions correctly.

  1. When you get to the screen that says College Savings plans-Start program yes
  2. Did you have a prior refund from your Start Contribution? If you answer yes and did have a refund, this may limit your contribution.
  3. When it asks for the Savings Program Contribution. You will mention that you and your spouse are the beneficiaries AND that you both are the account holders.
  4. If you only mention your name, then the contribution will be limited to $2400.
