Talk:Pennsylvania Prepaid 529 Plan

This is my first page on the wiki, and it's going to take me quite a few days a couple hours at a time before I think it's ready. I'd appreciate others holding off on editing till I'm done with the first version, then please edit away. --Vectorizer 22:32, 12 June 2012 (CDT)

The official disclosure statement for the GSP has five supplemental pages that modify several of the sections of the last full revision on the document. This makes references brittle and difficult for readers. A revision to the full disclosure is supposed to be released in June 2012, incorporating those supplements. Therefore, my intention is to make references to the new disclosure statement when released, and would like to keep the article itself from being referenced until then.

 * Just a formatting edit of the footnote. No substantive edit --Blbarnitz 20:16, 18 June 2012 (CDT)
 * Formatting: added template to emphasize qualifying cautions. No substantive edit--Blbarnitz 19:19, 22 June 2012 (CDT)


 * from Wikipedia manual of style:

Section headings
Use sentence-style capitalization, not title-style capitalization, in headings. Capitalize the first letter of the first word, but leave the rest lower case (except for proper nouns and other items that would ordinarily be capitalized in running text. Thus. Rules and regulations, not Rules and Regulations.

The same applies to the titles of articles;.

Linking is easier if titles are in sentence case; it is easier for articles to be merged or split if headers resemble titles. --Blbarnitz 06:26, 23 June 2012 (CDT)

I've finished the article to my satisfaction (though I'm sure I'll be making minor edits), and will soon be linking to it from other articles. I previously wrote that the GSP will be releasing a new Disclosure doc in June, but that has been delayed so I'll have to fix the many references in the article to sections in the current (December 2011) Disclosure when the new Disclosure is published. Feel free to edit away, and thanks for waiting for me to finish the first draft. Vectorizer 20:43, 26 June 2012 (CDT)

The new disclosure was published by Pennsylvania, labeled July 2012. The links to the PDF disclosure document did not change. I verified the references in this article pointing to sections in the disclosure were still valid, correcting a few where necessary. Vectorizer 19:43, 10 July 2012 (CDT)

Added a note about the Pennsylvania income tax deduction recapture provision. The only information I could find is a 2006 bulletin from the tax department. Even in the tax department's own consumer-level literature, I could not find any details about computing recapture. I also could not find anyone else on the web who gave any advice about this provision. This leads me to wonder if I have indeed found the governing document, but in the absence of any evidence against, I thought on balance it was more important to warn taxpayers about the existence of recapture and the fact that it is complicated.
