Summary
New Mexico offers a state income tax deduction for contributions to 529 education savings plans. This is not currently implemented in PolicyEngine.
What needs to happen
- Add NM 529 contribution deduction parameters (caps by filing status)
- Create a variable for the NM 529 subtraction
- Integrate into NM AGI subtractions
The existing person-level variable investment_in_529_plan can be used as the input.
Note: New Mexico allows an unlimited deduction for 529 contributions.
Context
Flagged during a meeting with Matt Comey (JCT) and Dan Feenberg (NBER/TAXSIM) as a gap in state tax calculators.
