Just about anybody can open a 529 account—parents, grandparents, other relatives, friends—as long as he or she is a U.S. citizen or a resident alien. As an account owner, you'll pick investments, assign a beneficiary, and determine how the money is used. If you're a New York State taxpayer, you can also benefit from the state tax deduction.**   **Contributions of up to $10,000 are deductible annually from New York State taxable income for married couples filing jointly; single taxpayers can deduct up to $5,000 annually.    @Nadia123

Sorry Bill --  I can understand the response coming from the TT employee 🙂  I am in support for last 20 years, no need to defend for not support fault 🙂  The information from the W2 was down loaded from the ADP  Payroll company directly.  I am sure millions of customers and products will use the API to pull the information.    Considering  20 or so thumbs up the thread for the questions, there will be 1000 more who read and make the necessary change. Giving voice those who are quite    Even if the Data was gibberish from a scans, it is difficult to understand the Tax code and not pay attenting to the letter and pay only attention to the numbers .  Note that the W2 has only Letter and not any detain on what it is.   I am sure the software guys will figure it how to address if there was a problme .    Suggestion for Enhancement :  will help future TT release    The TT software does not point to  where the mistake is and keep adding it back, even if you delete them.  Most TT users will look at their Kids information, adding and deleting their profile and gets stuck , wasting 2 hours.  If the error correction points indication where it originated  W2, or Kids information, it will help identify the root cause

You can do your teacher's retirement adjustment from the "Here's the income that Georgia handles differently" page:       Subtractions of Teacher Retirement System Distributions Georgia allows a subtraction from your retirement income equal to the contributions made from July 1, 1987 through December 31, 1989 that were not deductible by Georgia.  The purpose of this adjustment to Georgia income is to allow a one-time deduction, as retirement plan distributions are received, of previous nondeductible plan contributions.   The current year subtraction from income cannot exceed the current year taxable retirement distributions received.
