New Mexico 529 State Tax Benefit (2026)

Deduction for the full amount contributed (no cap).

Only New Mexico-approved plans qualify; principal and earnings rolled in from another state's plan count as deductible contributions.

There is no dollar limit: you can deduct all contributions made during the year for each beneficiary. Deductions are added back if contributions are refunded on closing an account or rolled to a non-New Mexico plan. Spouses filing separately each claim half of the joint amount.
