| State tax deduction or credit for contributions: | Contributions to any of Ohio's 529 plans of up to $2,000 per beneficiary per year are deductible in computing Ohio taxable income, with an unlimited carryforward of excess contributions. Contribution deadline is December 31. |

Under the Advantage Age-Based Option, contributions are allocated among 12 mutual funds based on the age of the beneficiary, and a reallocation occurs every three months until the beneficiary reaches age 21. Under the Vanguard Age-Based Option, contributions are placed into one of five mutual-fund portfolios corresponding to the selected risk level and age of the beneficiary, and reassigned to more conservative portfolios as the beneficiary approaches college age. |

The Vanguard investment options consist of four multi-fund portfolios and seven individual-fund portfolios. The Fifth Third Bank options consist of certificates of deposit and a savings account. |
