Sign up for the Ohio 529 and get a bonus. [...]

But CA does not offer a tax deductions for contributions. I suggest to your readers that they look at their own State's plans for possible tax deductions on contributions first before considering out-of-state plans.

All the other plans are open just to receive free money: cashback on our credit card, Upromise contributions and our state tax deduction.
