I am starting CT 529 (CHET) as a part-year CT resident for my child.

will I have the deduction of 5k/10k MFJ on CT state tax, as NR or part year resident?

thank you.

    According to these two references, non-residents would not qualify:

    In most states, the rule for part year residents is that the contribution must have been made during the time you were a resident. You may want to contact the CT Dept. of Revenue for a direct answer.
