The NYS 529 accounts must be in one of the following plans: 1. New York’s 529 College Savings Program Direct Plan, or 2. New York’s 529 Advisor Guided College Savings Program. You cannot use Form IT-195 to authorize a direct deposit into another state’s 529 plan. You do not need to be the NYS 529 account owner to directly deposit all or a part of your refund into a NYS 529 account. However, if you are the account owner you may qualify for a New York State subtraction modification for the tax year in which your contribution is made. You cannot change your election to contribute all or a portion of your refund into any NYS 529 account after you file your return. Line instructions Enter your name and Social Security number as shown on your Form IT-201.
