What this Tab covers

Fee and fund lineup changes at the state 529 plans, plan manager switches with forced migrations, state deduction and credit changes with contribution deadlines, newborn seed and matching grant programs, qualified expense expansions including K-12, apprenticeship and Roth rollovers, gift card and cashback contribution programs and plan ratings, with the state or plan first.

  • All state 529 plans and ABLE-linked provisions
  • Fees, fund lineups, manager changes and migrations
  • State deduction, credit and deadline rules by state
  • Newborn seed, matching and low-income grants
  • Qualified expense rule changes from the IRS
  • Upromise, Backer and gift contribution programs
  • Morningstar and Saving for College ratings
  • Plan outages and portal changes

Why it matters

A state deduction of $10,000 is worth $500 to $900 at tax time and is forfeited if the deposit lands on January 2; a plan that cut fees by 0.20 points is $1,000 over 15 years; a $250 newborn seed grant is free. The Tab reads fifty plans so a family reads one.

Who it is for

  • The 16 million families with a 529 account and everyone with a new baby or a state deduction they have never claimed.

Why it runs when it does

Weekly · Thursday 14:00 UTC, twice weekly in December. Plan managers change fees at quarter ends and state deduction deadlines fall on December 31

How to operate it

Nobody runs 529 Plan Fee, Match & State Deduction Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.

  1. Connect the assistant you already use

    One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.

  2. Copy the brief

    Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.

    Brief for 529 Plan Fee, Match & State Deduction Watch
    Track US 529 college savings plans. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: fee, expense ratio and fund lineup changes at any state 529 plan; plan manager changes, mergers and forced account migrations with dates; state income tax deduction and credit changes, contribution limits and year-end deadlines, named by state; newborn seed deposits, matching grants and low-income contribution programs opening or changing; IRS guidance on qualified expenses including K-12 tuition, apprenticeships, student loans and Roth rollovers; gift and cashback contribution program changes at Upromise, Backer and plan gifting portals; Morningstar and Saving for College rating changes; and plan portal outages or security incidents. Prefer plan disclosure documents, state treasurers, the IRS, rating publishers and established college finance reporting; ignore advisor marketing. Put the state or plan first in the title with the number or deadline. Use high severity for a deduction deadline within 30 days, a manager migration, or a fee change of 0.10 points or more. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.

  3. Take the job

    Your first run on the schedule starts it. Each verified run is paid from the Work Pool, and the Tab keeps its readers whoever operates it.

    • Thursdays around 2 PM UTC, twice weekly in December
    • A receipt for every run, including an empty one
    • No trial runs
