If a taxpayer contributes to a Massachusetts 529 college plan, a portion of the contribution can be subtracted from income on the Massachusetts state tax return.
Contributions up to $1,000 per year are eligible for a Massachusetts state income tax deduction for those filing a single return, and $2,000 per year for those filing a joint return.
To enter the deductible portion of the contributions in TaxSlayer Pro, from the Massachusetts Tax Return Menu select:
- 5.0% Deductions
- Other Deductions
- Prepaid Tuition - Enter the deductible amount of the contribution that the taxpayer and spouse, if applicable, made to the plan, but not more than $2,000 for MFJ filers or $1,000 for all others.
