I can have no taxes on regular investment account. 529 is not a good deal at all. It takes the tax credit from people who don't know any better.

If your kids earn enough it is sometimes better to not claim them as dependent and let them get the credit (as their lower income will qualify). But they have to have enough tax to do it.

2 kids. I'm spending over 120k a year in tuition etc. Some of it I can draw from 529

do I get to deduct any of it? these kids are listed as dependents (bcs they are)



Look carefully at any merit received as well. If not going directly to pay for tuition it will be viewed as income for the recipient.

My kids are graduated, but it’s only the minimal credit off the top of your income. You should receive a tax form from each college.

Worth only $2500 so insignificant when looking at a SLAC at $95k a year


2500 per kid or total?


Each parent can do $2500 per kid in Maryland if you have a Maryland 529 so $5k per kid.

President Bartlett tried to make this happen but Washington was too divided in the fictional early aughts so he had to settle for the tiny tax credit. Blame Alan Alda maybe?
