Bill Summary
To amend sections 5747.70 and 5747.78 of the Revised Code to modify the income tax deductions for contributions to 529 plans and ABLE accounts.
AI Summary
This bill modifies tax deductions for contributions to 529 plans (college savings accounts) and ABLE accounts (savings accounts for individuals with disabilities) in Ohio. The key changes include increasing the annual contribution limit from $4,000 to $8,000 for joint tax filers starting in 2025, and establishing a mechanism for annual adjustments to the contribution limits based on the gross domestic product deflator beginning in 2026. For both 529 plans and ABLE accounts, the bill allows taxpayers to carry forward excess contributions beyond the annual limit to future tax years, ensuring that contributions can be fully deducted over time. The tax commissioner will be responsible for calculating and announcing the adjusted contribution limits each year, with increases rounded to the nearest fifty dollars and only implemented when the adjustment would result in a higher limit. These changes aim to provide more flexibility and potential tax savings for Ohio residents contributing to educational and disability savings accounts by expanding the amount they can deduct from their state income taxes.
