HB18-1209

No 529 Account Income Tax Deduction For K-12 Kindergarten Through Twelfth Expenses

Type Bill
Session 2018 Regular Session
Subjects
Education & School Finance (Pre & K-12) Fiscal Policy & Taxes

Concerning amendments to the state income tax deduction for contributions to a qualified 529 account to ensure that the state income tax deduction is not aligned with the changes in the federal "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" of 2017 that allow tax-free distributions for elementary and secondary school expenses.

Bill Summary:

The federal 'Tax Cuts and Jobs Act', which became law in December 2017, added distributions for elementary or secondary school expenses as qualified distributions from a qualified state tuition program, also known as a 529 account, thereby allowing, on the federal level, income tax-free distributions for elementary and secondary school expenses in addition to already authorized income tax-free distributions for higher education expenses.

The bill amends Colorado law to ensure that a taxpayer may not claim a deduction for contributions to qualified state tuition programs for elementary or secondary school expenses and clarifies that such expenses are not qualified distributions.
