To deduct 529 contributions on your Pennsylvania return, please follow the steps below:

  1. Enter your Pennsylvania return.

Pennsylvania allows a maximum deduction of $19,000 per beneficiary, per taxpayer for 529 Tuition Account Program contributions made in 2025 to a Pennsylvania 529 Tuition Account Program or another state's 529 College Savings Plan.

 

I completed a mock return as a Pennsylvania resident and was successfully able to deduct 529 contributions. If you have any further questions, please let us know and we will further assist you.
