Most people felt that this deduction would be would renewed, but since the law had it expiring in 2010, there was always a chance that it wouldn’t be.

Fortunately, this is no longer an issue. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 was passed in mid August and a portion of it makes the tax benefits for 529 plans permanent.
