We continue our Masterclass on 529 plans today. If you haven't heard part 1, Go back and listen to episode 138 first. http://radicalpersonalfinance.com/138-masterclass-on-529-plans-a-k-a-qualified-tuition-programs-part-1/ You'll need it for context on today's show.

Today we dig into more of the how-to regarding savings plans. I also spend a good bit of time explaining the state income tax benefits for you. Depending on your situation, these may or may not be important for you.

Topics:

• Which states give a tax deduction for 529 contributions and how much?
• Which states offer tax parity?
• How to take advantage of the 529 State Income Tax Loophole.
• How to figure out if you should take advantage of a plan with lower fees or a plan with a better deduction.
• Who should own the plan--parents, grandparents, or child?
• How do 529 plan distributions get reported?
• What are the best 529 plans to choose for each state?
• How can you get free money for college?

Enjoy the show!
