Oregon 2011: Plan Prior Year Carry-Forward
Oregon taxpayers can contribute to an Oregon 529 College Savings Network and receive a subtraction on their state return. There is a maximum limitation each year. If more than the maximum is contributed, the excess may be carried forward over the next four years.
Certain customers, who had a carry-forward amount to tax year 2011 for Oregon 529 College Savings Network contributions, may have filed an incorrect Oregon tax return.
TurboTax has fixed this issue.
