Wisconsin State Tax Deduction
Wisconsin taxpayers have until Thursday, April 15, 2027 , to contribute to an existing Edvest 529 account - or open and contribute to a new account - to be eligible for the 2026 state income tax deduction.
Contributions to an Edvest 529 plan made by a Wisconsin taxpayer can reduce their 2026 state-taxable income, dollar-for-dollar, up to annual limits. The maximum contribution deduction for the 2026 tax year is:
$5,280 per Beneficiary for single filers or married couples filing a joint return; or
$2,640 per Beneficiary for married couples filing separate.
Contributions greater than the maximum deduction amount for the tax year may be carried forward as a deduction in future tax years, subject to the maximum deduction amount.
