Don't Miss the Tax Deadline--Make Your Contribution Online
You may be eligible to deduct up to $5,000 ($10,000 for married couples filing jointly) from your 2009 Connecticut State taxable income by contributing to the Connecticut Higher Education Trust, Connecticut's 529 college savings program before December 31^st. ^*Contribution checks must be postmarked by December 31^st to meet the tax deadline. Online contributions made prior to 11:59 p.m. (ET) on December 31^st will also count towards the 2009 tax year.

Connecticut taxpayers may deduct from their Connecticut adjusted gross income contributions made to one or more CHET Accounts during the tax year up to these annual contribution deduction limits: (1) $5,000 for an individual who is single, head of household, or married/civil union filing separately; and (2) $10,000 for an individual who is married/civil union filing jointly, or qualifying widow(er) with dependent child. These limits apply on an aggregate basis (not a per beneficiary basis) to all contributions made to all CHET Accounts during the tax year. Connecticut taxpayers may not claim a deduction for a rollover into a CHET Account from a non-CHET Account or for a transfer into a CHET Account from a Coverdell Education Savings Account.
