Am I eligible?
You may be eligible for the credit or subtraction if you contributed to a qualied education savings account, regardless of the owner or
beneciary.
You do not qualify for the credit if you are a nonresident or are eligible to be claimed as a dependent.
What is a qualied educaon savings account?
A qualied education savings account is any state-sponsored section 529 college savings plan, including prepaid tuition plans.
What is a qualied expense?
A qualied expense for a section 529 college savings plan is a cost required to attend a post-secondary educational institution. Qualied
expenses do not include amounts paid for K-12 education expenses.
If you used a distribution from a 529 college savings plan for K-12 education tuition, you must include the lesser of distributions or the
earnings reported on Form 1099-Q from the college savings plan on line 13 of Schedule M1M.
Can I claim the credit and subtracon?
No. You may claim either the credit or the subtraction. You cannot claim both.
Is it beer to take the credit or subtracon?
It depends on your residency status, ling status, and income.
Full and part-year residents: If your Federal Adjusted Gross Income (FAGI) is $78,340 or less, the credit will generally provide a
greater benet for you. If your FAGI is more than $78,340 but less than the $103,340 ($166,010 if you are ling a joint return), complete
the Worksheet for Line 5. You will generally benet more by claiming the credit if the result from the worksheet is more than the amount
below for your ling status:
Single: $118
Married ling joint: $212
Head of Household: $106
Married ling separate: $118
If your ling status is married ling joint and your FAGI is more than $166,010 ($103,340 for all other ling statuses), you are not eligible
for the credit. However, you may be eligible for the subtraction.
Nonresidents or individuals eligible to be claimed as a dependent: You are not eligible for the credit. However, you may be eligible for
the subtraction.
Do I need proof of my contribuons?
Yes. Save canceled checks and keep a detailed record of your contributions (such as brokerage and account statements). We may ask you to
show these records if we have questions.
If you claim the credit or subtraction, maintain a record of the amounts claimed as long as any education savings account is open.
