Georgia’s 529 Plan was established in 2002 and currently the plan allows Georgia tax filers to deduct up to $8,000 per year, per beneficiary if filing a joint state income tax return. Individual and Head of Household filers can deduct $4,000 per year, per beneficiary. Earnings in the account are tax deferred and withdrawals taken from the 529 plan for postsecondary education expenses are federal and state tax free.
