They may be eligible for a state tax deduction.  There is no federal tax deduction for contributions to Educational Savings Plans - 529 Plans.  Many states offer a state tax deduction if you contribute to that state's sponsored fund and live in that state.  An excellent website to find out if you qualify for a state tax deduction is   https://www.savingforcollege.com/
