Moving to a New State, Help with 529

[budloa]

Hello! I've read some great articles on Savingforcollege.com about moving states and strategies in terms of how to best approach where to allocate funds for 529s... but still not positive what to do. Hoping for some help on my specific situation. I moved from Illinois to Wisconsin and we contribute a monthly amount. I see that the max tax benefit is 3200 in WI vs 20000 in IL, which makes me think continuing contributions in IL would be our best bet. Any advice?

This article in particular was helpful but I just am having a hard time figuring out best approach:

Thank you!!

Assumptions:

1. You are now a Wisconsin resident and no longer an Illinois resident.
2. You are/will be filing Wisconsin income tax returns and not filing Illinois income tax returns.

Questions to answer: does Wisconsin provide a state income tax benefit for contributions to 529 accounts in other states, and if so, up to what amount?

If you are no longer a resident of and not filing a state income tax return in Illinois, any tax benefit that Illinois offers for 529 contributions will no longer be available to you.
