MN taxpayers may qualify for a state tax deduction up to $3,000 if married filing jointly, ($1,500 and filing single) for contributions made into an MNSAVES account.

100% tax-deferred growth

Any earnings grow tax-deferred. When you pay less taxes, you may have the ability to earn more and grow your college savings account faster—giving your beneficiary an even bigger head start!

Tax-free withdrawals for qualified expenses

Withdraw tax-free for all qualified education expenses at any eligible college, university or technical college for tuition, certain room and board, books, computers and more.

Why a MNSAVES 529 Plan?

Your plan is financial aid friendly

Your 529 account is typically viewed as a parental asset for financial aid purposes and may count less against aid eligibility than the same funds held in your child's name.1

Your child has options

For MN taxpayers, savings can be applied to any eligible college or university across the country and abroad, as well as technical or community college.

You have more control

You're never locked in and can withdraw your funds for any reason at any time.2

You enjoy more flexibility

Funds in your child's account are transferable to another eligible family member, which includes siblings, stepchildren, parents, even first cousins.
