Perry Hall Christian School Tuition 2021-2022

A new provision in the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that expands the usage of Section 529 College Savings Plans allows account funds to be used for K-12 private school tuition.  The Maryland 529 Account program (managed by the state in partnership with T. Rowe Price) can now be used for payments towards your K-12 tuition.  There is no income limitation associated with opening a 529 account.  By utilizing this tool, you may be eligible for a tax break and the tax-free growth might also be used to pay for tuition in later years!  Please note that Maryland law, by default, extends an additional state tax deduction and tax-free treatment on account growth and distribution to K-12 tuition expenditures. 

You can learn more by talking to your legal or tax advisor and by visiting the following websites: 

• Maryland allows families to take 529 college savings plan distributions of up to $10,000 per beneficiary per year for tuition at an elementary or secondary public, private, or religious school.
• There is also a Maryland state income tax deduction worth $2,500 for a contribution to a MD 529 plan.
• Maryland also helps certain families save for qualified educational expenses (including private school tuition) by matching contributions to a MD 529 plan.
