Deadline Approaching for $25 Enrollment Bonus and Annual State of Ohio Tax Deduction for Ohio's 529 Plan
Ohio Taxpayers Can Deduct Contributions Made by December 31
(firmenpresse) - COLUMBUS, OH -- (Marketwire) -- 12/20/11 -- Ohioans have less than two weeks to enroll and contribute to the Ohio Tuition Trust Authority's CollegeAdvantage 529 Plan to take advantage of the $2,000 annual state of Ohio income tax deduction. Any Ohio taxpayer who contributes to a CollegeAdvantage 529 account can claim the deduction including grandparents, other relatives or family friends. Up to $2,000 per contributor (or married couple) can be deducted for each child. Contributions over $2,000 per child can be deducted in future years. The deadline is December 31 for 2011 contributions to qualify.
The Tuition Trust is also offering families a limited-time incentive to open an account. Families who open a $100 CollegeAdvantage 529 account by December 31, 2011 will receive a $25 bonus when they use the promo code SAVINGS at enrollment. The bonus offer is part of the Tuition Trust's annual campaign efforts to encourage families to financially prepare for college expenses.
"Both the $25 enrollment bonus and the state tax deduction create an incentive for families to start saving and planning for higher education," said Richard Norman, Interim Executive Director. "Giving a child a CollegeAdvantage account provides an opportunity for families to give a lasting and meaningful gift this holiday season."
