According to Delaware's tax instructions, "Contributions made to a Delaware-sponsored tuition program may be excluded from Delaware adjusted gross income up to a maximum. For a single, married filing separately, or head of household filer whose federal adjusted gross income is less than $100,000 the maximum exclusion is $1,000. For married filing joint filers whose federal adjusted gross income is less than $200,000 the maximum exclusion is $2,000. Contributions to an account in a Delaware-sponsored tuition program for expenses used for tuition in connection with enrollment or attendance at an elementary or secondary public, private, or religious school are not deductible."
