Summary
West Virginia 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 WV 529 contribution deduction parameters (caps by filing status)
- Create a variable for the WV 529 subtraction
- Integrate into WV AGI subtractions
The existing person-level variable investment_in_529_plan can be used as the input.
Note: West Virginia allows a 100% deduction with no cap.
Context
Flagged during a meeting with Matt Comey (JCT) and Dan Feenberg (NBER/TAXSIM) as a gap in state tax calculators.
