Qualify for 2023 tax credits or deductions with my529 contributions

Investing for your beneficiary’s future with my529, Utah’s educational savings plan, can provide a significant gift that lasts beyond the holidays. Are you already saving? Extend that money with a tax-advantaged 529 account. When you contribute to a my529 educational savings account before the end of the year as a Utah taxpayer, you can qualify for a tax credit or deduction.

my529 account owners can claim a 4.65% Utah state income tax credit for 2023 tax year contributions. The maximum contribution eligible for a tax credit is for each qualified beneficiary and applies to contributions up to $2,290 for single filers, trusts and corporations, or $4,580 for joint filers and grantor trusts that file as married filing jointly.

Account owners may contribute more but will not receive a tax credit for contributions that exceed these limits. It is not too late to open an account and begin.

Utah state income tax credits are just one tax advantage of a my529 account. Earnings on investments in a my529 account grow tax-deferred. Withdrawals are free from federal and Utah state income taxes when used for qualified education expenses, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, computers and even internet access for the beneficiary. Visit my529.org for details and deadlines.

Also, if someone else contributes to the account, the account owner is the individual who is eligible for the tax credit. Friends or family can easily make contributions through the my529 Gift Program. Visit gift.my529.org for more information.
