529 contributions in New Mexico

Varies

Are 529 Contributions Tax Deductible in New Mexico?

Short answer: Yes on your New Mexico return: Unlimited (full contribution). Only contributions to the state's own plan count. NM plans only; deductions recaptured on nonqualified withdrawals or rollovers to out-of-state plans.

There's no federal deduction for 529 contributions; growth is tax-free when used for qualified education costs.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
