State tax recapture provisions:

Non-Qualified Withdrawals and rollovers from an Account to an account in another state's 529 Plan may cause the otherwise applicable deductions for contributions to be limited or recaptured. If such a withdrawal or rollover is made in the same year in which a contribution is made or during the five-year carryforward period, the taxpayer must reduce the tax deduction otherwise available for the contribution or carryforward by the amount of the withdrawal or rollover.
