In 2023, the annual tax-deductible contribution limit increased to 25% of the employee\u2019s income, with a maximum of $66,000 per year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tax Law Changes<\/h2>\n<p>The Gift Tax Law annual exclusion amount increased in 2023 to $17,000 per year. This is important because the amount is tied to the amount of after-tax dollars you can contribute to a 529 college savings plan. If you want to front-end load five years in one year, that contribution would be $85,000. So, two individuals filing jointly per year would be 17 times two or $34,000, or $85,000 times two for $170,000 if they both wanted to front-end load the 529 plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Todd Rosenfeld, Chief Learning Officer at STC, provides insights into tax law and retirement plan changes effective 2023 which could affect licensing examinations such as the SIE Securities Industry Essentials exam, the Series 6 and Series 7, NASAA exams the 63, 65 and 66 and MSRB tests such as the 52 and 53.
