Utah taxpayers may check the "UESP savings option" box (line 46) on their state income tax return to direct all or a portion of a state tax refund to an account with the Utah Educational Savings Plan, or UESP.

Utahns may fund an existing college savings account or make a contribution to a new account. If you don't yet have an account, the UESP will mail you an enrollment kit. For more information about the Utah Educational Savings Plan and the Utah state income tax refund contribution, call UESP at (800)418-2551 or e-mail info@uesp.org.
