529 contributions in Rhode Island

Varies

Are 529 Contributions Tax Deductible in Rhode Island?

Short answer: Yes on your Rhode Island return: $500 single / $1,000 joint per return. Only contributions to the state's own plan count. CollegeBound plans only; only account-owner contributions count; rollovers from other 529 plans are not deductible.

Carryforward: Unlimited. 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.
