Hello everyone. I just joined the site and may be interested in joining this chapter. I don't yet have the ability to PM apparently, which is why I am posting this.
Re: Master Thread for Metro Boston's Chapter
Whitey, why don't you come to join us at the Lincoln Public Library this Saturday, at 1PM, and we'll take it from there? There will be quite a group of attendees, but I'm sure we can find you a seat.whitey2755 wrote:Hello everyone. I just joined the site and may be interested in joining this chapter.

Re: Master Thread for Metro Boston's Chapter
For MA residents with at least $2K tax, a deposit to the UPlan prepaid tuition plan must be made by June 30th. $1K for single, $2K for joint filers could be deducted. No income limit. Thus, $2K x 30% personal tax rate = $600 less taxes & $2K saved for college. This benefit was announced January.
The deadline for UFund 529 plan is December; with same $1K or 2K tax deduction. You just need to pick which plan to get the deduction & deposit by it's deadline.
Please consult your personal tax preparer.
My personal estimate of UPlan performance =5yr tuition/fee inflation rate + 5yr bond performance or 17%+1-3% = 18-20% total for 5yrs. Make your own UPlan/UFund choice.

I hope this helps someone.
