The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Department of the Treasury offers a 529 Michigan Education Savings Program.

Michigan Income Tax Deduction

Accounts contributed by a Michigan taxpayer to Michigan Education Savings Program accounts during the tax year, less the amount of any qualified withdrawal from those accounts during the tax year, is deductible from Michigan adjusted gross income in an amount not to exceed $5,000 for a single return or $10,000 for a joint return for that tax year. Amounts transferred from or contributed to another 529 college savings account plan are not eligible for the Michigan income tax deduction.

One of the 529 plans sold by Paradigm Equities is considered an out-of-state program and does not qualify for tax benefits offered by the State of MI. Individual States provide different benefits for 529 College Savings Plans.  Please consider, before investing, whether your or your designated beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in such state’s qualified tuition program.

Suitability

Choosing the right college savings plan is an important decision. Make sure the plan you choose provides those features and benefits that are best suited to your risk tolerance, income, investment style and investment goals. Remember, state tax deduction is only one variable to consider when investing in a college savings program, other items to consider should include: the variety of investment options, self-managed vs. pre-programmed investment options, the maximum contribution limit, contribution flexibility, investment fund performance, the program’s fees and charges, web-based planning tools, customer service, account access and transfer and distribution options.

Please consult with your financial advisor or tax consultant to determine if the benefits and features of this 529 College Savings Program or any other college savings program apply to your specific circumstances and goals.

Investments in the 529 plans are subject to market risk and there is no guarantee that funds will be sufficient to cover all college costs.
